[Novalug] Ubuntu 8.04 inet access problem

[Norman Bird]

problem still with eth0 and correct ip address.

I did the route thing and it seemed to work as i was able to ping everwhere,
but then i realized it still had an ip address of 192.168.1.100, and i need
it to be 198.162.1.101. no matter what i do it stays at .100. i added .101
and it shows up in netstat -rn , and netstat does not show anything for .100
but unpn ifconfig, it still shows .100 and when i did add .101 the netmask
showed 255.255.255.255 instead of 255.255.255.0 whic is my network.

I think i need to flush it all and start over, but every flash attempt i am
told by route that the command is not supported.

hopefully that all makes sense. I can access internet with .100 only and
cant switch device to .101. and no other computer is using .101 that i know
of.

any help?
