Change IP Address Failure

Using the prebuilt VMWare VM version 20011R1.7
I am having some problems with the simple "change IP" aspect of the VM.
The tutorial says to execute the system-config-network command while logged in as root. However whenever I execute this command I get
"command not found", any ideas?

There was a slight mixup when the VM got pushed out and the proper package did not get installed. Run the following on the command line of your Nagios XI server.
yum install system-config-network-tui
Then you should be able to run the tool.

thanks! That's what I thought, however due to restrcitions my VM cannot hit any external mirrors. How can I do either of the following:
Setup a proxy server?
Install the package offline? (where can I download the installer)
Thanks!

We don't offer an "offline installer" - you have to be online. As for the proxies, you can try setting one at your own risk. Our official policy is:
We do not officially support Nagios XI when you install and use proxy software that restricts traffic to or from the Nagios XI server.
You can read more on the topic here:

Any possibility of updating the VM that you are distributing for Nagios XI?

I'll make sure that the next VM image includes this package. In the mean time, you actually can install it offline by downloading the packages directly from a CentOS mirror and then transferring the packages to your VM and running 'rpm -i package-name.rpm ...' on them. For your convenience I've included an archive of the package & some of its dependencies in this post. I tried to include all of its dependencies but it's difficult to make sure I covered everything and it's possible that you may still be missing some required packages. Let me know if you have any problems installing it.

I've updated the VM image, although it may take an hour or so for it to make its way to our website.
