Changed IP Addresses

We did a network upgrade and moved all of our IP addresses from the 192.168.0.x range to the 10.x.x.x range.

Now all of the computers are black in the catalog. Their IP address is changed and listed correctly, but they are not communicating with the server.
In the communication section of the parent properties (Computer Catalog) I changed the AMS address from the old IP to the name of the server. How do I know get this info pushed to all the clients?

can you check any logfile on the clients
by any chance that the firewall popped on with changing the ip or that the ports u might have opened for avast are closed again?

the system should work as follows (which it did for me)

AMS has ip, client checks ip.
AMS and clients change ip, setting in AMS is changed after the ip change, clients cant find the old ip since that is in their setting and check network first for another AMS which should be found on the new ip, if that doesnt happen (firewalled?) they reside to internet.
maybe its as simpel as the firewall…

This is in the log file:

3/19/2008 8:12:15 AM 1205928735 SYSTEM 740 Third server conn attempt (last good: 192.168.0.50:16111) failed. (error 0000274D)

Turning off the firewall had no change.

I can telnet to the server on port 16111, but the ‘Find servers’ button on the installation package setup cannot find the server?

working now after a restart.

If you need to change the AMS IP address to a machine you can use the AswChAms.exe command in [b]Program Files\Alwil Software\avast4[/b].

Thanks for the info. My machine needed that (after all the config changes). Everyone else updated on their own.

you see people, it pays to read the manual :wink:
