I've changed IPs a couple times in the last year. Actually the most
flexible setup is to not use Hosts at all. In the Vantage Client Setup
program, there's an option "Use dynamic name resolution." If you don't
check it, it creates or updates the hosts file on the client and makes an
IP entry in the .VTG file. This forces you to run around and update every
client PC.

Selecting dynamic name resolution uses good ol' DNS (and/or WINS?) Then
you can re-number the server as often as you like and only have one place
to update.

Most likely you'll need to go around to all the workstations and edit the
HOSTS. file to point to the correct location. Did that once here and no one
could connect to Vantage until I edited their HOSTS. file.

I just did that a couple months ago to get non-routable IP addresses behind
the firewall. You must change the file called HOSTS on each PC running
Vantage. The Vantage Client setup appends a the IP address of ths server
but does not remove the old references and this will prevent Vantage from
running on the client.
