You will need to copy all the relevant files from the old webserver to the new and set up your DSNs. Then simply place a redirect txt file where the asp scripts were originally. Specifications for this redirect file are given in the manual, or we can create one for you. When a client PC logs on this file is recognised and the client machine is redirected to the new webserver. For subsequent log-ons the client remembers the new network address and so once each existing client has visited the old network address the redirect file may be removed. New clients should be set up with the new address from installation.
