Old network data interfering with reconfiguration of network connectivity

If you are configuring a local console on a network (LAN) and the user keeps getting an old IP address, which may be wrong but you cannot get to it without changing the name, you may need to edit the hosts file on the PC. You may need to edit the file and remove the entry in question.

Note:
  1. It is also suggested that you remove or alter the old entry in the hosts file on the PC. You can do a search or find for hosts then double-click the file when it is found to start the default editor.
  2. Operations Console should be closed and restarted before attempting to connect a new configuration. This action will remove all cached values associated with any old configurations.
