Hi
I have 5 static IP's and everthing was fine untill I moved premises and had to change the IP Range. I have just started to reconfigure the mail server to start working again and took one of my static IPs for this. Through the BT HUB 3 I assigned the external ethernet port on the server to a static address so when the MX records change things should work..... Wrong
The server crashed and had some hardware repaired. Now I cannot see the assigned IP address how on earth do I get this back? The server ether net boards have changed so I now have a different Mac addresses for the port but everything else is the same!
I now have 2 missing IP addresses and I would like to know how I can have them back? Does any one have any ideas? If not I will have to issue another free one and wait a further 24 hours to update the MX records 😞
This whole moving premises thing has been a night mare 3 weeks just to get to this point, wont mention the cost!!!!!
There was an easy fix to ths in the end. Fortunatly the port could be seen but as disconnected on the hub under devices. So I removed ther static IP and deleted the device. I had to restart the hub but I can now see all the Static IP Addresses
