HOW TO CHANGE THE IP ADDRESS:

HP System:

Recommended:

1. edit /etc/hosts - change name and/or IP address

2. edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf - change name and/or IP address

3. reboot system: /etc/shutdown -ry 0

Optional:

1. chmod 444 /sbin/auto_parms ( if this isn't set to

   so it's not executable the workstation or server

   will hang. It is a known bug. Ok if running DHCP though.)

2. /sbin/set_parms (select correct argument)

/sbin/set_parms

Usage: set_parms <argument>

Where <argument> can be:

			hostname
			timezone
			date_time
			root_passwd
			ip_address
			addl_netwrk
			font_c-s
	          or initial (for entire initial boot-time dialog sequence)

3) enter data and allow system to reboot

Sun System:

Recommended:

1. edit /etc/inet/hosts

2. edit /etc/hostname.hme0 (or whatever the LAN designator is)

3. edit /etc/nodename

4. edit /etc/net/*/hosts

Optional:

1. /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig

NOTE: this is a very, very dangerous command :)

use it only when you're ready to redefine all network parameters
