hostname="fbsdx.test.com"
ifconfig_lnc0="inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0"

Thanks for this tip. It was very helpful
Could you please set up an .exe file to do the above procedure
I think making a .exe file with the above commands will make the job easier for repeatedly changing ip addresses
An exe file, do you have any idea about what you are saying, exe files is a windows thing.
