Jeff, thanks, that appears to have worked!

You don't need to delete and recreate the file shares just to change the IPs. I am assuming if you are moving this cluster to another segment, you'll change the node IPs too. If that's the case, here's a high level set of steps.

Stop cluster service on both nodes.
Change the IPs of the public network to reflect the new segment
Start the cluster service, cluster will detect the new IPs and create a new cluster network
Connect to the cluster by going to start, run, 'Cluadmin .' This will allow you to connect since the cluster IPs are still on the old network.
Change the IP addresses in the 'Cluster Group' and the file shares group to reflect the new IPs.

That should be all there is too it.
