My first thought was about confusion between "255.0.0.0" and "/25", but bits are counted in the opposite way, so it would be "/7" (32-25). Does the problem persist if you do ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 ? Do you have any other networks configured? grep -r 254 /etc/sysconfig/net* Something like sh -x ifup eth0 could help (maybe you have to add set -x as second line in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth too). -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
