I have changed one of my workstation's IP with:
$ sudo ifconfig vr0 inet 192.168.1.64
Afterwards some applications (trn, rtorrent, gaim) acknowledged the change and
worked on the fly. Others, such as irssi, worked on a random basis (i.e.
restarting it would lead to connecting or not to the servers). Firefox, mutt,
snownews, lynx didn't even bother.
I did modify the /etc/hostname.vr0 and /etc/hosts files before executing the
command.
I couldn't find any solution to this. Is it something I'm missing? I felt
pretty dumb having to reboot my machine in order to solve this.
