We are trying to upgrade a development server from Lotus Domino 8.5.1 to 8.5.2. I have tried this several ways and every time I do it after it is done it can no longer find the server. Our development setup is such that we have a replication server (Domino 6.5) and each server is installed as a standalone that hits the replication. I have tried
- Uninstalling 8.5.1 and installing 8.5.2. I left the data directory intact and used the same
server.id file - Just installing 8.5.2 over 8.5.1
- Wiping the entire 8.5.1, including the data directory and local ID file and installing 8.5.2
Every time I get the error:
Unable to find patch to server. Check that your network connection is working.
If you have a working connection, go to Preferences - Notes Ports and click
Trace to discover where it breaks down.
Here is the trace:

I also have BES 4.1.3.4 installed on this. It all works fine in 8.5.1. Can anyone point me in any kind of right direction of what to do? Admittedly I am not a server admin but, the person who used to do this is no longer here so I have to figure it out.

Posting the answer, in case anyone in the future needs it.
If I turn on driver errors in the trace I get the following: DNS returned address
The server was moved to a new location with a new IP and it looks like the DNS needs to updat
