The reason I asked about changing the IP was that the server will need to be physically relocated for the training session - the training area is still being plumbed, so the fiber connection between the training building and the server room is not in place yet.

So the server has to be moved for the training sessions.

What I've decided to do, in the absence of further wisdom, is simply assign the IP address which it will use in the training segment, before it is moved. It will not function as a network device, as its default gateway will be invalid, but any references to IP addresses that the application 'locks in' will have the correct address.

I have been advised about the 'autoconfig' function to reset the config settings of the app server, but I would prefer not to use this unless it's necessary. Received on Tue Aug 28 2007 - 11:36:08 CDT
