Do not remove the NIC before you add another NIC on Win2k server, there are
services that must always be bound to TCP/IP. Even if the NIC is hidden in
the device manager TCP/IP is still bound to it and it still has an IP
address.
When you replace the MB the old NIC will still be in the registry with its
IP address, after you install the new MB which I am assuming has an onboard
NIC bring it up assign it a new IP address, use netdiag to register the new
NIC IPs then you can use the remove hardware wizard to remove the old NIC
and assign its IP to the new NIC before removing the IP assigned to the new
NIC. Sounds confusing doesn't it?
It is much better to work though the confusion than it is to have services
crash because they can't bind to an IP address.
Oh yes one more thing, before you make the change make sure DNS is set to
listen on all IP addresses on the interfaces tab. If IIS is installed make
sure it is listening on all IP addresses.
