Change the default gateway by editing the file /etc/defaultrouter

Change your system's IP address by looking at the
/etc/hostname.<interface>, and then editing /etc/hosts to change the IP
address of the hostname specified in the interface file.

Or, you can just: echo 'new.ip.address' > /etc/hostname.<interface>

To make the rest simple, you can reboot and the machine will come up
with the new IP address and gateway.

To avoid the reboot, after editing the files, you can so the
ifconfig/route commands by hand.
