Changing a Linux box's name , IP, and subnet

[Flipster]

Hey,
I have a dumb question. I would like to add my RedHat machine to my "network". I have a wireless router connecting me to the internet with a laptop, a desktop, a handheld device connecting to it. I want to add my Linux box so I can update Perl Tk and some other stuff. For the sake of continuity I would like to assign the RedHat box a thematic name, give it an IP address in the 192.168.1.X region, and give it the standard 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. I know there is a tool for this...but I would really like to get some specific instructions. Thanks in advance!
