    You can change the properties of a virtual machine, such as its IP address or hostname.

    Procedure
      Step 1   Sign in to the virtual machine directly from the virtual machine console or by using a Secure Shell client such as SSH.
      Step 2   Change directory to /etc/jabberguest: 
      cd /etc/jabberguest
      Step 3   Copy the file network.config.sample to a file named network.config: 
      cp network.config.sample network.config
      Step 4   Edit the properties in network.config: 
      vi network.config
      Step 5   To configure the virtual machine with a static IP address, you must edit the hostname, IP address, gateway IP address, network mask, and at least one DNS server IP address.
      Important:

      Do not include quotation marks around the domain name or hostname.

      Step 6   Check the properties:
