If this was an SBS box and a DC I'd be majorly wincing and telling you
to use the change IP address wizard... if we do it manually we do this:
How do I move my server to new hardware:

We do this trick of installing loopback adapters to 'hold' the internal
gunk stuff before we move cards.
Did you do that?

Yesterday morning I had to change my Win2k Server up a bit. I wanted a
new static IP address, and the ISP told me that in order to do that, I
needed a new NIC (MAC Address). So, I switched the cables on the back
of the server, and got the new IP for my external card.
I then reversed the settings on both NIC's, so that my (new) internal
card used the old internal settings, and the (new) external card used
the old external settings.
I double-checked the DNS server settings, and they were properly
updated. I don't use DHCP internally, so I figured that should be all
that I needed to do.
However, I have lost my internal network connectivity. The DFS no
longer works, from my network machines to the server, though it does
work from the server out. I also can no longer connect to the printer
which is connected through the server.
When I try to map an external drive, when I click on the browse
button, all the machines show up except for the server.
I've checked each of the workstations, and they can all connect to
each other, but as far as they are concerned, the server does not exist.
Obviously there is something on the server that I missed, but I have
no idea where to even start looking. Can anyone help me to figure this
out?
Thanks.
