My eth0 interface keeps injecting this IP address whois 169.254.136.49 [Querying whois.arin.net] [whois.arin.net] OrgName: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority OrgID: IANA Address: 4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 330 City: Marina del Rey StateProv: CA PostalCode: 90292-6695 Country: US I have my modem (ppp0) set to use dhcp and my ethernet card set to static IP: 192.168.1.101, using network manager, but the SOB keeps reverting eth0 back to 169.254.136.49. What's with that??? I have no clue, but it's annoying as all hell because I have a local net with drive mounts to and from my other machines. Looks like some hand-edits are in order. Best suggestions?
