Or you made a big mistake in the new IP address. Like, if your subnet is 140.120.0.0, your mask is 255.255.0.0, and your system was 140.120.15.1. If you glitch the change and assign 120.140.15.2 you will have that problem. It's the kind of glitch I'm famous for :-) -- == Gary Dunn == Honolulu == Open Slate Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
