OK,

when configing the environment, this operator put the wrong address for
the host server.  Instead of 1.2.3.4 he did 1.2.3.9.  He's been summarily
executed. :)

And since the great minds that designed CA don't allow you to change that
without deleting the hosts file, I renamed the hosts file and rebooted.
No hosts file in the winnt\system32\yaddayaddayadda...   And no DNS in
use.  THis is a simple ethernet config.

Lo and behold, supportline tells me that the number can only come from the
hosts file or the DNS...which I expected, but aren't now at issue.

But, when I try to config that connection, it STILL comes up with the
original and erronious 1.2.3.9 IP address....  Where the heck is it
getting the address from?

IBM says it's not a support issue anymore, it's a "billable line" issue
now....but, their software has to be getting it from somewhere...  ANyone
have a clue where??

I've even DELETED the old config and tried to recreate (post host file
rename), and it still comes up with the wrong and old IP...

Where is it getting that old and bad IP?

Thanks...:)
