Managed to get on the Internet (those addresses were just assigned by the 
cable modem (or router)). What I can't do is print and scp across my LAN. I 
want to print to the printer-attached computer (192.168.0.2/24).

That makes sense. So, how do I assign a different address to the same NIC? I 
want it to be 192.168.0.9 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. I did this in the 
RH realm with 'neat' so I never learned the manual way. I'm on ubuntu now.
