log in as root, edit the /etc/hosts file changing the address of the hostname in question..

example:
cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.0.1.1

http://www.example.org

loghost
10.0.1.2 ftp.example.org mail.example.org

if you want to change

http://www.example.com's

IP to 10.0.1.3, simply change the IP listed in the /etc/hosts file, issue a reboot command, and on reboot it will be changed

Hi,
If u r making IP changes in the same subnet then u can do so using ifconfig command:
ifconfig hme0 <new IP>[hme0 is the N/W interface]
However to make these changes permanent, edit the file /etc/hosts and replace old IP for the server with new one.
But if u r making changes in diff subnet then edit files:
/etc/hosts,/etc/defaultrouter,/etc/netmasks
In all these replace old values with new ones...

I hope this helps.....
