Hello,

while I'm getting the first anwsers I found the solution by myself and 
afterwards I found a perl script from netscape.
The problem is, that the information about the admin IP is stored in the
ldap database itself. You need to change the local.conf and the LDAP
Database. I've done it by doing a backup of the Database, editing the
LDIF File and then restoring (both by command line !, seems to be 
important cause doing it with the startconsole ends up in a mess).
Now anything works great.

The netscape solution is attached.

Thanx to all, Dirk.

Changes to IP address

If, for any reason, your computer system's IP address changes, the Administration Server will not start (332357, 354994).  The IP address must be changed in both the Administration Server configuration and the Configuration Directory. As a workaround, follow these steps:

   1. Copy the Perl script provided below, and save it as a file in the <Server_Root>/shared/bin directory.  In this example, the file is named admin_ip.pl.
   2. In the <Server_Root>/shared/bin directory,
          * On Windows NT,  enter

          * ..\..\install\perl admin_ip.pl <Directory_Manager_DN> <Directory_Manager_password> <old_IP> <new_IP> [port #] On Unix, enter

      admin_ip.pl <Directory_Manager_DN> <Directory_Manager_password> <old_IP> <new_IP> [port #] 


#!../../install/perl -w

# This script automatically changes the Administration Server IP address in both the local.conf file and in the Configuration Directory.  The old IP address is stored in the file local.conf.old.
