The night i was struggling with the other machine i was able to get rid of the bad value, but it did not set the ipaddres, the same thing i see now. So, the ipadress is not changeable by doing a /etc/netstart on the machine, and only a reboot sets the new address. And it works with no problems what so ever. regards Johan Hendriks
