I need to shift my entire site from one server machine to another server.
For this i used the "sharepoint portal server backup and restore" from program
files and took bakup and after installing everything in another machine i tried
to restore the backup in that machine.i was able to see that site in the
database (sqlserver 2000) in sites table. But my url contains eg:
"http://<ipaddress of my old machine>:8081/sites/<site name>".
This is not able to open and my doubt is "will the ip address change if we
restore the site in another machine"
what are the actual steps to follow for restoring and opening the site?
