Rod,

If you change the IP address, you should change it in the lams.properties in /etc/lams2 for future upgrades. But it won't make any difference to the version of LAMS already installed.

You will need to start using the new IP address when you try to call LAMS ie http://72.167.48.28:8080/lams.

Then if you do get the login screen up then the page may look a little odd, as it may not be loading the stylesheets correctly. Log into LAMS as sysadmin, select the Sys Admin link and go to Edit Configuration Settings. Change the Server URL entry to the new URL.

This highlights an issue with using a numeric IP address, rather than a name for the server. Users will have to use that numeric IP address to access LAMS, or the stylesheets won't load - the url that is specified in the Server URL field is the url used to load the stylesheets and other bits and pieces of rendering bits in LAMS.
