Change the ip in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (if eth0 is
what you want to change)
The hostname can be changed in /etc/syconfig/network .
6.0 is quite old but if memory serves me right nothing in respect to
these 2 files changed since then.

Ok list.
One more question to help me with my LAN restructuring. This is on a
very old
system Red Hat 6.0
If I have an existing system with
hostname: something
IP: XXX.XXX.XXX.98
and I want to change it on the same LAN to
hostname: somethingelse
IP: XXX.XXX.XXX.101
What files to I need to alter?
Is there a tool to do this or is it manual edits?
Should I do this off the LAN, reconnect and then reboot?
I do not want to upgrade the system. It does nothing but serve an
obsolete
database and I do not want to migrate the data. If I can just have it
be
another hostname and IP on the existing LAN that will solve all
problems. In
fact, the hostname and IP I wish to change it too is for a system that
died a
year ago so all machines on that LAN have a hosts entry for that IP and
sendmial is configured to send mail to it if it ever shows up.
Thanks for all the help RedHat gurus.
Peace
john
