John,
This is quite easy.
Addresses & Networking > Change IP Addresses
Enter the "Old IP address", then the "New IP address".
Choose either "All servers" or "Only selected..."
If you chose "Only selected..." highlight the servers you want to update.
Click "Change Now".
That's as easy as it gets!
If you have any other concerns regarding this, simply reply.

the network and gateway change also. do i need to make changes someplace else for those setting?
Thank you
John
yes under webmin, networking, network settings
You'll need to check with them when this is exactly done so you can switch too or you can let them change it on your box during the switch to prevent downtime. That's what I did when my ISP changed my IP's and switch.
Then you'll just have to set the domains to use the new IP.
Don't forget to inform your clients as they will have to update their domainnames/A records/ns records at their registrar.
thank you for the info to make sure i have this correct and in order.
Addresses & Networking > Change IP Addresses
this step in not clear....... webmin, networking, network settings. under Network Configuration there are 4 diff config
Network Interfaces
Routing and Gateways
Hostname and DNS Client
Host Addresses
which do i make changes to? also can someone share in what order changes are made. which out of all this should i do first? i really need a step by step so i dont mess this up.
again thank you for all the help
John
you need to change all of them obviously as all settings will be different with the new IP's and gateway. . Order doesn't matter, timing does. You want to make the switch just before the time your ISP change the IP's.
Either way you will loose connection to your server during the switch. I would choose to let them do it hands-on, just to be on the safe side.
