Local server IP address changes cause the product to fail connecting to the server

Troubleshooting


Problem

If an IBM® WebSphere® Application Server is running on the same machine as the product then when the IP address of the machine changes the product may have difficulty reconnecting to the server. This scenario occurs most often in a wireless network environment where the IP address of the machine may change when moving from a local area network (LAN) to a wireless adapter.

Symptom

The product will not be able to connect to the local Application Server until the product is restarted, leaving the server in a 'Stopped' state.
