(Warning, if you installed PERL5, you may need to edit your config_* programs to fix the @ literal problem with PERL4). I believe you can also edit the /etc/netstart and /etc/resolv.conf files and make the changes there. I am not sure if these are the only files you will need to the make changes in, although I think they are. The /etc/netstart contains the IP address, gateway (defroute) as well as some other vital networking information. The /etc/resolv.conf simply has the domain name and nameserver information in it. Hope this helps...
