And an immediate follow-up: I deleted the two dhcpcd-eth0.info(.old) files, while having a 192.168.w.t address, then did a service network reload, and the d*** 172.x.y.z address came back!!! And a new dhcpcd-eth0.info got created, again with the 172.x.y.z. address, its network, but the broadcast and gateway from the proper network at home (192.168.) ... can't believe this!!! Where the h*** is this 172. coming from!?! Stef
