How to change the IP address of your SBS 2003 computer
If you want to change the IP address of the network adapter used to connect to the Internet from a dynamically assigned address to a statically assigned address (or vice versa), use the following procedure to reconfigure the network connection.
On the computer running SBS 2003, click Start, point to Control Panel, point to Network Connections, and then click the network connection you want to reconfigure.
Double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then modify how the IP address is assigned to the network connection.
If you want to change the IP address of the local network adapter, use the Change Server IP Address Tool as follows:
Open Server Management and then click Internet and E-mail.
On the right-hand (Details) pane, click Change Server IP Address.
Enter the new IP address and subnet mask and click OK.
Change IPaddress configuration wizard. In fact if you have two nics, the internal nic doesn't have to change anything if you don't want to and you only change the external nic with the CEICW.. but you probably did that all manually too, didn't you? ;-)

To Save my a** at this point let me diagnose further my approach to configuring the server a second time. I did not use the "global" or "universal" network configuration program to configure the server the second time I set it up. I guess in this case global would be the Server Manager with all of the nifty HTML looking links, that Microsoft may one day turn into their own supercomputer. Instead, I used the individual programs to configure things such as the properties under network connections tcp/ip and the DNS MMC program, and DHCP MMC.
This resulted in me needing to re-run all of these configurations that the out of the box configurator did for me. However, me changing the ip in the tcp/ip properties of the server, I think, should have changed the internet configurator to the proper ip address. Yet, when I looked at it it was different than the properties of the tcp/ip properties.
Another problem with the out of the box configuration however, is that unless an IT person has dealt with this before, and he doesn't know how to start it, he's not going to be able to easily move the server if it needs to be moved later.
The million dollar question then would be: How do you run the out of the box configuration program again so it makes sure to guide the IT person through all of the needed configuration. I.E. How do you run the "entirely different network environment" program?

As les says think need change IP wizard..
If so then that warning when installing you only have one network card you took no notice...lol
Two nics you wouldn't have this problem, would only need to change the fixed IP of second nic to match your new router.
If you already have two NICs then ipconfig /all as susan suggests may help us o help you
Everyone at the Microsoft
configuration of SBS server 2003 department should know what I'm talking
about............ phooooey..... I could list 20 questions to ask you with your post.. be nice... ;-)

Is this the first time you've set up a SBS server?

I'm really upset about the configuration of Windows Small Business server. THere are ip addresses everywhere. I tried to set up a server in my own environment before in my customers and when I re-ran the configuration in the new environment there were ip addresse hiding everywhere for the. Mainly ip addresses for the server (what the local IP should be.)
Is it possible to put the ip address of the server in one place if it must be set and then have successive configuration utilities look for the ip address in this global file? That's how it was before... it was so easy then... Now they're everywhere. I think MS is going downhill as far as this is concerned. Is someone trying to kill Microsoft? The total cost of ownership just skyrocketed!
Not elegant AT ALL!!!!!!!!!
