There may be an interfaces= line that has your old IP address. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Bannar-Martin [SMTP:mbannar-martin@pearson-college.uwc.ca] > Sent: Thursday, October 28, 1999 1:58 AM > To: freebsd-questions > Subject: Newbie question on change of IP address > > I have a problem with a change of IP address.
