I don't think so, but you can always 'grep -r /etc/* <your_old_ip>' to
see what has your old IP address in its config files.

apt-get install samba
apt-get install cupsys cupsys-bsd
The samba package contains the smbfs thingy that lets you
mount/unmount samba (ie windoze) shares on your linux box, as well as
stuff for printing to printers shared using samba. CUPS gives you a
nice way of setting up printers and printing to them (I even figured
out how to get it to print to netware printers).
