Hi Matt, 

 Changing IP address in the Windows client is a known bug, though it works in 
Linux. We should fix that soon. Other workaround is to use the Simias Store 
Browser and change it directly in the database OR recreate the account with the 
new IP address, if you do not have any iFolders downloaded.

Hmmm..I'm on 3.6.7085 client and I can't seem to change the IP address of the 
ifolder server.  I go into accounts settings, accounts, and select properties 
of the ifolder account, change the IP address click ok all the way back out, 
but when I go back and look, the original IP address is still in there.  I 
can't seem to change it to anything else.  It always reverts back to the 
original address.  Is there something I'm missing here?  

Luckily, I have a Novell Access Manager SSL VPN running, so I was able to 
connect through that! But I liked the SSH tunnel for the simplicity (I ran my 
3.5/3.4 environment that way for a year and a half).

I can't even put a host name in there, otherwise I would do the DNS/host file 
thing.  No matter what, it reverts back to the original address.
