are you keeping to same hostname?
If yes then you just need to change 2 things:
/etc/hosts (make sure you remove your old ip and put in your new one.)
and you need to use "ifconfig" please refer to the man page for the syntax.

If you are also changeing your hostname then in addition to the above you also need to edit /etc/hostname.(interface) and put in your new hostname.
