Networking :: every boot I loose my lan settings

Every boot I loose my lan settings, and I cant get my old MAC either.
I have changed my net card and I kept my old MAC and I want my network just as with MS WINDOWS. I like linux, it's fast, stable, but HELP!!!

I suppose I don't have to set my static IP and my MAC every time I start the PC.

I have 3.0 version installed debian-like on my HDD and I want to use it....
