Search Again: Re: Help! I''m a newbie... From: andrew Date: Wednesday, May 2, 2001 Time: 9:36:18 am Your DNS server's IP address is stored by Network Solutions. You need to go to www.networksolutions.com and use the Modify Host form (http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/makechanges/itts/host) to change the IP address of the domain server to the new IP. The form is fairly straightforward. Then install QDNS 3 on the new machine and copy the "primary data" and "secondary data" folders into it from the QDNS 2 server. Launch QDNS remote, QDNS Server and QDNS Admin and make sure the domains are still listed. Wait 7 days for the modifications to soak through the internet and then shut off QDNS 2 on the original box. Sit back, drink a cup of coffee, and think to yourself "Boy I'm Glad I'm Not In A BIND!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean Stephens" <lasso@treefroginteractive.com> To: <quickdns-talk@lists.menandmice.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2001 11:48 AM Subject: Help!
