For the mac address, you can set it in the xen config file that you use to launch the image. Please see this page:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking

The ip address can be assigned in:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

inside the image. You should also modify /etc/hosts. There is good documentation for these files or use the official frontend: redhat-config-network
