Use the Systen administrator for a quick and easy method.

1. Sam
2. Networking and communications
3. network interface cards
4. action
5. modify system name - change name

select your lan card - space bar

1. action
2. modify - change ip address

Changing your hostname on a production system, you should also consider other application who have hardcoded your oroginal hostname in their application.

To change the hostname:

1) use set_parms
# set_parms newhostname

2) Reboot
# shutdown -yr 0

The set_parms will change the entries in the needed files.

You can try the following to change hostname,ip address,timezone, date_time, root passwd and additional network parameters.
