Problem in WSS 2.0 SP2 migration to WSS 3 (new web and db server)

Hi,

I'm facing a problem in WSS 2.0 SP2 migration to WSS 3 and I need some help.
I follow the MS Paper: "Upgrading to Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0
Technology" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=85554)
I can't make an inplace upgrade now, I'm changing the webserver and database
server, so I want to test WSS 3 before, just in case of something goes wrong,
I'll still with my production server without changes.

So, I crate the new environment and use the command tsadm -o addcontentdb
-url <http://newwebserver:port> -databasename DatabaseName to attach the
database to the site.
The new web server has a diferent name of the previous one, and the database
server also has a differente name, but i restore the database with the same
name.
Under Sharepoint Services Administration site I'm able to see all the
details of m previous application. I suppose that it's due to the database
restore. Under Site Collection List  I can see  my site and all child sites,
but i'm unable to browse it.
When I try to access my site I receive one off the error messages: Access
Denied or The page cannot be found.
I'm not sure, but making an select on the table Sites under my sharepoint
database in the columm FullURL the name is refered to the old webserver. It
isn't suppose to be updated when I attached the database to the new site?

Thanks,

Luana.
