Routers tend to cache the arp associations (tcp/mac) for a
much longer time than other equipment - perhaps 20 minutes.
With Cisco's you can log into them and use the command
'clear arp' instead of restarting - other routers probably
have similar commands.
****** ALAS! IT STRUCK AGAIN! IT *IS* the KERNEL! ********************
Upon a subsequent reboot (why did I reboot!!), I went thru the
rigmarole all over again. In the past 8 hours of more tinkering, I
have ascertained that my original eth0 card works as well, if I shut
off the system and reboot the old kernel. But the old kernel gives me
some ati related problems (it's the first kernel shipped with FC5).
Anyhow, on another machine, I also have FC5 and this latest kernel,
but only one nic physically installed, and have NO problems.
So, the question is, can I totally HIDE the eth1 nic from the os,
as-if it didn't exist?
Thanks;

Just curious: Have you installed the initscripts RPM from updates-testing
as I suggested in another thread?
