Hmm. The basic X installation is not visible with "pkg_info".
What do you have under /usr/X11R6? On my machine:
[root@castor root]# find /usr/X11R6/ | wc
4384 4384 184110
[root@castor root]#
that is, about 4500 files. I'm using about 60MB of disk for this.

i.e., another box? Yes, that will ruin the networking. This might be why
the X installation is not visible.

I think you may have to do this, though.

This should all eventually work. I'm puzzled why the X installation
failed, though. My guess is that the conflicting IP numbers might
have ruined something.
