  (the principles and files are probably thr same)

Here is what I do and has always worked for me (YMMV):

     o How to change hostname/ip:

       - edit /etc/HOSTNAME
       - edit /etc/hosts
       - edit /etc/sysconfig/network
       - edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

       Reboot.
