Default Re: Change ip address of mounted drive - Mac client

This evening I have been having a sortout of local (private) ipaddresses, in particular I use a smb mounted directory to store files on, not my workstation. The ipaddress of the server has changed from 192.168.1.14 to 192.168.1.41 and it now mounts under /Volumes/192.168.1.41. I can change directory to it and see both partial and complete files.
I have changed the settings in phex to match (/Volumes/192.168.1.41/mpg/Incomplete etc.), but when I start phex it gives all files of size zero bytes, as if I had just added them for download.
Has anyone seen this as I cannot find a reason for this.

Also on a slightly different area, I need to replace my local hard disk to give more space before upgrading to Tiger, where does phex store its settings and downloaded file info etc. I want to copy this to a server so I can copy it back after swapping the hard disk.

Regards,
Andrew
What was the old Incomplete directory name?
Phex stores the name of its partial files in its download settings. If you "move" the partial files to a different location Phex does not find them and assumes the download needs to start again...
The problem is... it also updates the download settings. Likley you will have almost no chance to recover the partial files... except maybe for the first segment.

Phex stores the settings in the directory '.phex' in your home directory. It contains a file called phexdownload.xml for your downloads.
