migrating from 9.62 to 10.72 cannot find sethostid()

The function sethostid(), was removed from DC10.72 if you are trying to change the address at runtime you can do this with ifconfig(), see sample below:

This is an easy way to set the Network settings of a device using the
ifconfig() function and shows how to bounce the connection.
