upgrade screwed up my network.
Earlier tonight, I ran an upgrade with aptitude, and my network configuration
started acting weird. Previously, I had set eth0 up to use a static IP of
192.168.15.10 with the household router's IP of 192.168.15.1 as the gateway
and nameserver. This had been working fine for months. After the upgrade
today, ifconfig lists the following for eth0:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:5A:88:A5:54
inet addr:169.254.246.208 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::204:5aff:fe88:a554/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:220593 (215.4 KiB) TX bytes:82583 (80.6 KiB)
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xdc00
Web browsing and e-mail work fine, but accessign other systems on the LAN does
not. If I run "/etc/init.d/networking restart" the original static IP of
192.168.15.1 gets set and LAN access works, but web browsing and e-mail do
not. Can anyone tell me what is going on, and how do I fix it?
Thank you,
Sean
