Anytime you change the primary network address of the namespace server
machine you MUST make a new world.  This is because the network address
specified in the boot file must match the network address in the namespace
or the machine won't know who it is.

Another option for you is to always boot a non-configured world and have
the machine load the namespace info everytime it boots.  This only works
for Ivory based machines.  I use this on our NXP1000.

If you're interested I can send you directly (or if more people are
interested post to the list) the necessary info and example boot files for
the "config on boot" method.
