Setting IP permanently on Sol 5.6

Comment:
Hi I currently have Sol 5.6 installed, but I set the wrong IP at startup. Now I have to change it, along with the netmask (which was wrong also) after each reboot. I don't have a clue where I can enter it permanently. Is there a file I can edit ? Or maybe a tool I do not know of. Thanks for any help :)

hi,
No need to do sys-unconfig just edit two files #vi /etc/hostname.hme0 change the ip address as required in this file #vi /etc/netmasks change the netmask as required in this file
this will surely solve u r problem

you will also need to change the ip in /etc/hosts or the /etc/hostname file will resolve the wrong ip
