Ethernet Connection

Hello
Excuse me if this topic has been covered, but I quickly did a search on “Network” and didn’t find an answer. I’m trying to look for information on setting up a static IP address and static DNS entries. Is this something I do in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf ? What editor do I use? Is there a utility that makes the setup much easier?

Thanks for your help.
