can't access bubba with static address on a new network

Hi all. I'm pretty sure that I have set up my Bubba server with a static IP-address:
192.168.1.100 which I have assigned it to in /etc/network/interfaces.
Now I have moved it to another network. The router is on 192.168.15.1. I have scanned the network for hosts using nmap. The servers IP doesn't show up of course

Is there a way to access my Bubba, so that I can assign a dynamic IP?

You can't connect to your Bubba because it's on another network.
Connect your Bubba directly to your workstation using a crossover cable.
Then give the workstation a static IP, 192.168.1.101 should work.
After that you should be able to connect to it... Hope it works!

Thanks a lot. I hadn't thought about that solution. I now have my Bubba back on the network!
