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. OpenBSD 4.0-current (GENERIC) #810: Tue Jan 9 11:36:49 MST 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC
