You can edit the files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, namely ifcfg-ethX
(where X is the number of your ethernet interface). 

If you want to use a tool outside of x-windows, then you could use
linuxconf, which will let you do this easily.

For a temporary solution (i.e good until you reboot), you can use
/sbin/ifconfig to set the ip address and netmask to new values.

i.e 

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 222.222.222.222 netmask 255.255.255.0

where 222.etc is your new ip.

cheers,
Anth
