For the hostname, edit the file '/etc/hostname', or simply try this
command:
# echo Lappy > /etc/hostname
As for the network settings, edit (or add) a section to the file
'/etc/network/interfaces' that looks similar to this:
iface eth0 static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
The next time you reboot, everything should work the way you expect it.
