I have not used Unix before. I have inherited a sco unix server and need to change the IP address on it. Is there a way I can do this without causing much dismay to the users?

type "man ipconfig" and read all about it.
Basic format is
ipconfig [interface protocol params addrs]
where
interface = typically the nic
protocol = defaults to tcp
parameters = see the man page
addresses = hostname

2 Ways:
1. edit the /etc/hosts file to reflect the new IP address and reboot the system (with reboot or init 6)
2. ifconfig
I believe the 2nd method doesn't require a reboot, however make sure the new IP address is still present after reboot. (I think it is but not 100% sure)
eg. ifconfig hme0 192.0.0.1
