We've been running Hobbit and bb parallel for quite a while now.  It's now time to 'bite the bullet' and change over to Hobbit (hoo hoo!).

I've swapped the IP Address of the machines (so that all of the clients do not have to be touched), rebooted and verified that the Hobbit machine is in fact the new address.  I rebuilt Hobbit specifying the new address, restarted Hobbit and now the bbd process comes up red with the following display:

  Sun Oct 23 10:33:00 2005 bbd ok : Ping failed, or dialup host/service

Service bbd on hobbit1 is OK
Dialup host/service, or test depends on another failed test
Host appears to be down

The conn test for the Hobbit server also fails:

  Sun Oct 23 10:33:00 2005 conn NOT ok

Service conn on hobbit1 is not OK : Host does not respond to ping


System unreachable for 13 poll periods (3623 seconds)

red 172.17.0.13 is unreachable

172.17.0.13 is the old address, the new address is 172.17.1.50.  In bb-hosts I have:

172.17.1.50   hobbit1      # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET bbd http://hobbit1/

Which is the same as before, with just the new IP Address.  I've checked   hobbitserver.cfg and it does have the correct IP address.

What could have been missed?

Thanks.
