    I usually change
    /etc/hosts
    /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and then reboot.

    Subject: How Do I Change a Machines IP Address?

    I need to change the IP address of a RHEL WS 3.0 machine.

    I changed

    /etc/sysconfig/network

    with the new IP address

    and restarted the network service and did a

    ifdown eth0
    ifup eth0

    But that did not help.
    I also rebooted the machine and ifconfig -a still shows the old
    IP address.

    I also did a

    ifconfig etho newipaddress
    but when I restart the network service it reverts back to the old IP
    address.

    What other files do I need to edit in order to change a machine's
    IP address?

    P.S. I know I can use netconfig but want to understand what files
    it modifies.

    Thanks,
    Dave Martini
