Change of static ip address for exchange server

We are having a new static ip address issued by our ISP. Apart from the Dns changes at out domain name host, is there anything required on our sbs 2003?

I seem to recall from a change to a previous server, that the static ip is recorded somewhere on the server and needs to be changed too.

Is it just a case of running the internet connection wizard again?

Any advice appreciated, to ensure a smoothe change over.

Thanks

We have a single adsl modem router with NAT.

I am aware that we will need to modify the public DNS records to reflect the change, but are there any changes on the local server or local server DNS records that need changing. Some say no, but others are suggesting that there are some changes required.

The suggestions are not clear as to which DNS is being referred to. I expected that we only needed to change the PUBLIC DNS records previously, but although it was many months ago, I seem to recall that having done this, we still did not receive any e-mail.

I recall that there was an entry on the SBS2003 server that needed changing in Exchange Sytem Manager to reflect the new public IP.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

If you are NATing through the ADSL router, then there are no changes that I believe need to be made on the local DNS server. I am not aware of any setting that requires a public IP in exchange that is behind a router as it uses FQDN for everything

Is it the fqdn that needs changing? Ie if it uses the old public ip as part of this?

I will accept what most are saying that no changes are needed. Not too sure why I had problems the last time I did this, but will work on the no change required opinion ( apart from the public Dns)

Thanks to all
