Debian image IP?

Not related to VB itself but I have managed to get a VMware image working in VBox now but I can't seem to change the IP address. I've added a line to the /etc/hosts file to change it from the current 174.x.x.x address to one within my own network but it won't change it? I use Unix everyday (Solaris) and I thought this would work!
Any good forums recommended? Or does anyone know the answer?

You should read your distro's documentation. IP addresses aren't stored in /etc/hosts, it's stored in /etc/network/interfaces. The hosts file is only used to access specific machines that do not have a DNS entry available. As you don't give any information about the network setup for the Guest, we can't help you. Please provide that.

This was a vmware image I was given on a course so no docs at all. Got it all sorted now, just needed to change the interfaces file to the correct IP and netmask.
