Spinning Pinwheel after Server Address Change

[ericl143]

We have a OS 10.2.8 server which is strictly responsible for sharing files out to the prepress department. It provides no other services whatsoever.

A week ago, we switched out our main Windows server to prepare for a new software package we are installing. At that time, we also re-did the whole IP structure for the building. I had inherited from the previous IT guy an internal network that had a routable class A scheme. I changed it to a 10. scheme. Everything got a new IP address, including the Mac server.

Now, since the IP scheme change, our Macs (both OS 9 and OS X) all pause simultaneously like they are trying to talk to the server and can’t. This was happening about every ten minutes and I suspected some lingering setting on the server.

The only thing I could find was “Server Monitor” was trying to access the old Mac server IP address. I fixed that and now the pauses are less frequent, but still occurring.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is the IP Change script at Apple still required for an IP change to a Panther (10.3.4) server?
