Good suggestion, and I wish it were that simple.. but I checked before
I put the machine at that IP address, and didn't get any response to
pings. This is a static IP that's supposed to be in a reserved block
(reserved for me). It seems that it's some other problem.... but I will
check this theory in the morning.
