Newbie alert - configuring network

Well, I just got Gentoo installed and everything seems fine. Probably easier than when I tried mandrake/redhat actually, albeit a bit longer.

Anyway, here's the question.

I've configured my connection (dsl router) by doing the following :-

ifconfig eth0 <IP> broadcast <BCAST> netmask 255.255.255.0

along with...

route add -net default gw <GWAY> netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1 eth0

Which works fine. However, here's the dumb newbie question I've been unable to find the answer to:

I need to type this again after every reboot. What do I need to do to save these settings?

Thanks in advance.
