When I set up my Redhat 6.0, I entered my IP addy as xxx.xxx.xxx.037
Note the '7' on the end. After installation was complete, my computer
thought it was .031. It even told the outside world that it was .031. I
had to go into the config files and manually change it back to a '7'.
Now my computer thinks it is .037, and it tells the world that too. But
why does Redhat mess that up? It did it when I installed 5.1 as well.
