Cannot log into management console after changing IP address

[kkr]

I have recently downloaded a Zimbra VMWare appliance to my ESXi 4.0 server. The install and initial configuration went OK. Then I decided to change the IP address to a static IP address (from the default DHCP) using the web configuration console (_https://dhcpaddress:5480 with user vmware) and it appeared as if the change was made properly. I then went back to the web console login page via the new address (_https://staticaddress:5480) and when I try to login with the same username and password, I can no longer log in and get an error as follows: "Unable to connect to server. Please try again"

I can still log in via the command line console using the "vmware" user that had worked previously on the web console but no longer through the web console. Is this expected behavior? Is there something else I need to do?

Kind of bummed since I'm trying this out with the hopes of buying the license to use with three of my domains. Hope to get past this initial step.

Thanks,
Ken

Which 'appliance' did you download and from where?
