Migrating multiple IPs to replacement network card

Hello,

I have a Windows 2000 server that has approx 50 IPs bound to it. I've had a
hardware failure with the network card and I need to replace it. However, I
don't want to reset up all the IPs on the new card. Is anybody aware of a
procedure that will migrate all of the IPs to the new network card?


Thanks.
 
Hmm..I haven't had to try this but I thought I read that this way would
work. You have to do this while the old Nic is still there.

1. Go to the properties of the Nic and select that you want to Update the
Driver.
2. Use the Microsoft Loop Back Adapter driver.
3. Remove the old nic and install the new Nic and cancel any "plug and play"
stuff that comes up.
4. Repeat the "Update Driver" on the MS Loopback adapter and use the Driver
for the New Nic.

What this is doing is making the MS Loopback Adapter act as a "place holder"
for the TCP/IP Setup during the transition.

If there is a better way, maybe someone else will suggest it.

Very interesting approach, I'll give it a try.

I wonder what the solution would be if I was migrating all of these IPs to
another machine ..?

The method was originally in the context of moving an OS, intact, from one
hardware to new hardware (or similar type).

But if you were just replacing the whole machine, OS and everything,...then
find someone who can type fast,...offer to buy them lunch.

Drill down the registry to
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{GUID}
and export/copy data you need such as IPAddress, SubnetMask etc.
