I don't know the dpkg-reconfigure command, but I do know that it's just
as easy to edit the file /etc/network/interfaces and restart the
network manually (by issuing the command '/etc/init.d/networking
restart' as root). See 'man interfaces' for details of the syntax of the
interfaces file. Useful also for those cases which are not handled by
dpkg-reconfigure.

Indeed. Thanks, friend.

I didn't mean dpkg was the only way. The new config is doing good. Quick
and easy. Thanks all!

Have you tried editing /etc/network/interfaces? It
should look something like this:
# This file describes the network interfaces available
on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see
interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
network 192.168.1.0
If you edit this file, the changes in settings will be
made the next time you bring the network interfaces up.

I don't think this can be done with debconf. It is only done during
install. Maybe base-config is what you're looking for (but I don't
remember if it configures the network too).

You're overengineering this a little bit. Check out /etc/network/interfaces
with a text editor and this manual page for examples. Once you have it
reset how you want it and
saved /etc/networking/interfaces, /etc/init.d/networking restart will apply
your settings.
