change the ip address without rebooting

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

hi,
	How do I change the ip address of my machine without rebooting?

	I did an 

	ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xx netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
	xxx.xxx.xxx.255

	But it does not seem to be enough. After the above command, I
	cannot telnet to anywhere unless I do a reboot...

	Can someone please help me??

Shao.
