Ah, that's different. Well, is there anything else on your network using that address? 192.168.1.6 will be on the same network as your machine. If you set the netmask to 255.255.255.0 it will no longer be the same network and therefore shouldn't continue to happen. Why it does this in the first place, I am not sure. -- The information contained in this email is confidential.
