If the firewall sees > 169.254.122.180 it will drop the message on the floor. can I suggest you us ip (from the iproute package). If you interface was originally a dhcp interface, you have to kill dhcpclient as well as assigning a new address to the interface. try ip addr show dev eth0 then find and kill any dhcp clients looking on eth0 ip a flush dev eth0 then add your address information ip a a dev eth0 192.168.2.102/24 use ip route show to show your route table Alex > > > > - -- > > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > > Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) > > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > > > iD8DBQFIWTBuu4tRirKTPYwRAqiRAJ4zwnPByjQjkydUAV+VhTKylO+s/wCdFXPT > > H8BselapzUv71JdxBsvLOhw= > > =hV56 > > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > > > > -- > > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a > > subject of "unsubscribe".
