OK, I found out the problem, and I fixed it one way, but I gotta ask is there another way to solve this or a way to prevent it from occuring.
The issue was the file in the xoops_data/caches/xoops_cache/xoops_adminmenu_XoopsGuiDefault.php
Now to note mine is named differently and is not in the doc root, but that info is properly entered in the mainfile.php file.
Anyway in there is stores all the admin menu links, I wasn't sure if I could just wipe out this file so instead I used sed to replace the ip address with the DNS name and problem solved.
Anyway please advise if there is an easier or less Unix level way to repair this or prevent it from happening, or for that matter if I can just delete that file should I change things again.
