Sharepoint event error 2436 – search function failing

PREFACE: I'm not a Sharepoint admin…our Sharepoint admin left the company.

I am getting the following error every 5 minutes and can't figure out what the fix is:

Event Type: Warning Event
Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3
Search Event Category: Gatherer Event
ID: 2436 Date: 7/27/2010
Time: 3:40:02 PM User: N/A

Computer: FWMSPAPL

Description: The start address
sts3://fwmspapp:8270/contentdbid={083c7ae0-bc68-405e-a5e8-12eae72f1718}
cannot be crawled.

Context: Application 'Search index
file on the search server', Catalog
'Search'

Details: The crawler could not
communicate with the server. Check
that the server is available and that
the firewall access is configured
correctly. (0x80041200)

I know it is related to the Windows Sharepoint Search function that happens every 5 minutes.

This information may help:

FWMSPAPP = old Sharepoint application server. Still on the network but doesn't do anything.

FWMSPAPL = current Sharepoint application server. This is where the error is.

My thought is that it is trying to access the old application server during the search indexing crawl but can't figure out where this is set and why and what to do about it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
