Strange IP address...

[Craig Harmon <charmon@skid.ps.uci.edu>]

Hello,

I have recently installed the beta version of Debian on a Gateway that is 
connected on an intranet at work.  (The installation was flawless by the 
way.)

I have recompiled the kernel and added all the network support and apache 
as I will be running an intranet-based website with teaching files for 
radiology residents.  It is actually pretty cool, we save the images in 
bitmap form and using MS Frontpage very quickly write teaching files.  
The doctors in the hospital can then view the images with netscape.

Anyway, the intranet is a Window NT net and while goofing around I 
discovered that my machine has two IP addresses.  One is the one 
assigned, 172.16.18.5 and the other is 127.0.0.1.  I think I have gone 
through all the config files in /etc and I can't find out where this 
address is being sent out from.  When I reboot with just the Windows for 
Workgroups the address disappears so I am assuming it is an artifact of 
one of the network items I installed on the Linux side.  

Can someone tell me which package has this generic address and where I 
can find it and kill it?

Regards,
Craig
