Which IP? 10.0.0.10 or 191.161.1.0?
The former didn't help and the latter brought the message:
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable.
Also, I just noticed that I got unsubbed from the list
newbie. The archives don't list anything beyond the 15th of
november. I just resubbed to the list and yours is the
first message I receive from the list.
Could you forward other replies I may I received in this

Does anyone know of a fully functional mail archives for
newbie?
thanks,
Anguo
