upgrade screwed up my network.

["Sean J. Fraley" <sfraley@rhiannonweb.com>]

	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
          RX packets:925 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1071 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          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
