Hi fastreplies,

> Screen shows only old server name but no IP

Yeah, then you're kinda stuck. You could connect to the serial port with a 
serial cable and a terminal program and troubleshoot it from there. It should 
give you a root prompt, provided you use the right connection settings and the 
right terminal. You may need to press return twice to establish the 
connection.

It has been like 3 years since I last had to use this method to "talk" to a 
RaQ4 and I don't remember all the gory deatils like what the connection 
settings were. Something standard like 9600, 8N1 or thereabouts ought to work.

Then - once connected - you need to fix the network settings by hand. You 
should find them in /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-
scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
