Changing a NetWare Server's IP Address

Novell Cool Solutions: Tip

Digg This - Slashdot This Posted: 28 Jun 2002

Finding all those places where an IP address is kept can be quite a mission. Use the following TIDs to get you started:

• NetWare 6 Server: http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10067853.htm
• NetWare 5.x Server: http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10063497.htm

We also came across this technique in the forums:

• Simple method. Using Windows, map a drive to sys:\ and search from the root of sys for the ipaddr/dnsname in the "containing text" field.
• Make the appropriate changes to all the entries found and reboot.
• You will also have to change any certs that have the old IP address specified.
