Problem Solved. A download of an updated driver for the Fast Ethernet card
was the answer. Once installed and updated, the release and renew worked
quickly and correctly. Now the IP addresses are the new addresses and the
entire system seems to be taking the change-over quite well. They did,
however, change out the 4000 series Cisco for a 6500 series Cisco. More
power and, with the new programming, more IPs that gets us up and running.
IT and IS gets a big "high-five" for the speed. Took less than 4 hours for
the full changeover between two data cabinets, putting everything back in,
re-programming, and final checks. So, until the next time something goes
awry, thanks for listening.
