Re: Worked great with DHCP server [SOLVED]

["Jonas Fornander" <jonas netwood net>]

I'm posting the fix to the list so it's available to others.

I did everything right and I re-booted many times. However it didn't seem to
be enough. I needed to power down totally and then turn the server on again
for the new IP address to take effect. I don't know if it's my server only
that has some problems or if this is by design of the OS.
