Not sure what you mean by "prompting for new" items. You can configure all named items when setting up the machine, or when logged in as root, or, you can use bootp/DHCP services to have the machine configure itself during boot time (except the host name, not sure).
If you "copied" a virtual machine, and want to configure the new one manually lest it resemble the old one, you need to run it standalone, i.e. without network access, for the first time to arrange for the parameters.
