novell server

We need More Detail
For instance what version of Novell?
Is this a single server or are there other servers that might connect to this one?

Here is the scoop for a 5.x Server.

There are two ways to do this...It all depends on how the server was configured.

If INETCFG was used, you need to type INETCFG at the command prompt. It will bring up a new applet on the server. Don't remember the exact choices, but there is one that will allow you to configure the boards. Use this to change the IP address. YOu will have to go to a different part of the applet to configure the gateway....I think it's protocols and set the default route.

If INETCFG was not used, then type EDIT AUTOEXEC.NCF at the command prompt (or LOAD EDIT AUTOEXEC.NCF if NW4.x). Scroll down to the line that says BIND IP nic_name. Change the IP address, mask (if applicable) and gateway (if applicable). Press ESC and answer YES to save. You will need to restart the server in order to have the configuration change take effect.
