A re-post from the Science Librarians' list - this seems like something we might need to know at some point. -Liz

Please share this with your constituents who via Beilstein or Gmelin via the client (CrossFire Commander) rather than the web-based version. If you get questions after the 31st about access problems, they may just need to change the host address.
Users who have CrossFire Commander set up with one of the following server host addresses will need to modify their Commander client host setting immediately as we will no longer have access via those servers as of 12/31/07.
crossfire-acad.mdl.com
crossfire.mdl.com
direct.beilstein.com
beilstein.library.wisc.edu
If their settings are for one of the above host addresses, they've probably seen pop-up messages about this when they open CrossFire Commander. In order to have access after the 31st, they will need to switch to the preferred host address for the Elsevier Crossfire server:
crossfire-acad.elsevier.com
To change the Commander client HOST address setting:
Version 7
1. OPTIONS > DEFINE SERVER PROFILES menu
2. EDIT default.prf:
a. Change host address to crossfire-acad.elsevier.com.
b. UNCHECK "Forget user ID/Password for the server".
3. Click OK to save changes and close default.prf.
4. Click on default.prf and click on SELECT.
Version 6
1. OPTIONS > CONNECTIONS menu
2. EDIT default.prf:
a. Change host address to crossfire-acad.elsevier.com.
b. UNCHECK "Forget user ID/Password for the server".
3. Click OK to save changes and close default.prf.
4. Click on default.prf and click on SELECT.
