I'm following ESG67624, and trying to rename my NW 7.4.2 server. I have 
saved all the client IDs; I have renamed my server to a new temporary 
name. However, I can't access the NMC; it says "Problems contacting the 
old server name". I tried deleting the Java cache; no luck. I tried 
accessing it via web browser at "http://127.0.0.1:9000";; no response. An 
"nslookup" of the new temporary name succeeds, and gives the proper IP 
address of the server. I even have the IP address in the hosts file, with 
the new, temporary name. Noweher in the host file is the old name, nor is 
it in the DNS server, nor is it in the DNS cache on Windows (which I've 
also cleared).

So I can't get into the NMC at all, and so can't continue in any way, 
apparently. I'm none too pleased with the directions, which have 3 
problems that I've found so far, and I'm not even halfway through the 
process ....

Anyone?
