I agree Jody. Being the newbie here, I am not sure where to check to see if that is the case. I do know from my past experience in IT is that resolving a domain name is much easier than tracking down every configuration file and changing an IP address.
Paul: I hope you are reading this (or anyone who knows). But is there a good "Reliable" point of contact for getting this address changed at InfoTrieve? Thanks everyone for commenting!

That way if the numerical IP address changes the alphanumeric designation always stays the same--our current Ariel address is arielrecv.uhcl.edu--and the IT department can change the corresponding numbers without affecting our constant data.

GOOD LUCK! Ariel needs to know the need IP. Change: your constant data on your borrowing requests, info in Policy Directory post change to every/any ILL listserv you can :ILL-L, Ariel, ILLiad, etc. The last time, I emailed the regular lenders of the change. While I noted the change in our borrowing notes, we didn't receive half the ariel deliveries for months after the ariel ip change. I started to post a note ("New ARIEL IP: xxxxxxxxx) after the journal title in copy requests. I checked WRS status for months, and when I emailed libraries of non-receipt and informing of new arielIP as of (date), I kept being getting replies that that wasn't the ariel ip they had on file. Our last change was 1/15/2008, and in the past month we still had two non-receipts because a library had an old ariel ip on file. Paul B.

I was also told that our Ariel application will be one of those getting a new IP address. Are there any impacts that I should be aware of? Are there configuration files that I need to ensure get changed correctly? I am VERY new to Ariel and my predecessor did not leave very good notes so any help would be great. Thanks in advance!
