3 Computers with 2K, one acting as a server
P2P/Workgroup network setup

Server computer changed its IP, not its name, now other computers will not resolve the new address.

On the other computers on the network, "nslookup server" retruns "192.168.0.4", not "192.168.0.2".  I've already tried stopping/starting the DNS Client and Computer Browser services with no luck.  Also tried chaning the workgroup name, rebooting, and changing it back with no luck.  Any other ideas?

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
