RE: How to change machine+machine name and ip-address in Debian?
... you could also use the following commands instead of editing all the
files:
yourputer@> hostname [type hostname]
yourputer@> ifconfig eth0 [your ip] netmask [type netmask] broadcast [type
brdcst add.]
... I'm not familiar with a command to change your nameservers (I'm sure
there wld be one though), so you'll probably need to manually edit
/etc/resolv.conf to change those (if necessary).

To change these parameters of your machine, edit the following
files:
/etc/hostname
/etc/hosts
/etc/init.d/network (if you use slink aka Debian 2.1)
/etc/network/interfaces (if you use potato aka Debian 2.2)
I guess that these should be the first places where you should
take a look at.
You might also like to change other places like:
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/host.conf
