- what i always do is edit the files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts dir, like file ifcfg-eth0 - maybe /etc/sysconfig/network, somtimes the default gateway is noted here - maybe also configurationfiles of you apache webserver /etc/httpd/conf/http.conf, - firewall setting if you used the local ip address in it the rules - maybe a firewall on your network if you have togo to the internet - dns server entry on your network or in your /etc/hosts file - maybe change the address of the dns server you are using if you have another dns server on your new network in the /etc/resolve file You can prepare the changes up front, but first loose the current network connection. Just take your time.

Is it as simple as going into the system-config-network gui and changing the IP address there? Are there other files I need to edit and change? Should I make the change prior to moving the machine to the new subnet or after I move it? Thanks.
