You will need to edit /etc/sysconfig and /etc/hosts changing the ip addresses.

In /etc/sysconfig there will be ifconfig statements such as

network_interfaces="de0 de1 lo0"
ifconfig_de0="inet 192.168.100.6  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_de1="inet 192.168.69.14  netmask 255.255.255.0"

Also your default router

# Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO for none.
# This is the same as adding a ``default'' entry to static_routes.
defaultrouter="205.137.48.81"

And the name of the server

hostname="news1.dearborn.agis.net"

In FreeBSD 2.1.x you also have to change the /etc/hosts file

Which is self explanatory.

You will need to reboot after you save your changes.

Good Luck
