as root, route -n returns: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 202 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 202 0 0 eth0 192.168.71.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 /etc/resolv.conf is a real file, and contains: nameserver 192.168.71.1 search hosts,dns domain coyote.den I've even changed the "dns" above to "nameserver", no diff on a networking restart. And I'm at the end of my wits. Not only that, and despite the eth0 address change, restarting the network does not change it. ifconfig says its still at the old address: eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.71.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.71.255 ether 3e:1b:98:17:e3:8c txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 2952 bytes 349284 (341.0 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 2414 bytes 213883 (208.8 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 40 So its, even with nm purged, inventing its own data, and I cannot change it. WTH? Where is the cache that is overriding me? Thanks Christian. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
