When I set up my machine I was given a static IP address.
Now I am reconfiguring the office and I have been given a new IP Address.
How do I permanently change from the old to the new?
Thank You,
Mark

Just for FYI though, the safe way to start all the networking configs over
is to bring it down to single user mode and run a /sbin/sys-unconfig and
reboot. It will come up and allow you to re-specify everything you'll need
to get it up on the new network.

Thanks again

I am sorry I am a recent convert from the windows world. To me a reboot is
just something that you have to do every 20 -30 seconds sort of like
breathing if you want your system to continue living....

Of course, that clueless Neanderthal woundn't know one end of a
