How do you currently connect to the internet and how will you connect with the new company? Do you have a router performing NAT?
Because you have not mentioned NAT, I presume you have xDSL or a lease line with a block of IPs assigned to you. If this is so and you're having an overlap period where you will have both connections running, I assume you'll be getting a second router for your new connection with a new range of IPs assigned to it? If this is the case I don't think you'll have much of a problem because I believe Imail listens on all IPs. All I think you should need to do is add a second IP address to the NIC (and possibly a second gateway). You could test this before changing DNS after your new connection is installed. Adding a second IP certainly shouldn't break anything. If nobody here recommends otherwise and it doesn't work, you can always remove the second IP you added and post back :) Regards, Lyndon > -----Original Message----- > From: Grant Griffith - IMail > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 22 April 2004 13:50 > To: imail > Subject: [IMail Forum] Changing Mail Server IP? > > > Hello All, > > We are going to be changing our network connection to another > company and will have to change the IP Address of the mail > server.
