That's the address of eth1, not the modem-router. As the kernel has IPv6 support built in, it automatically assigns an fe80 address to the initerface, constructed from the MAC address. Dale could try 'ip neigh show'. It should give something like this: 192.168.1.2 dev eth0 FAILED 192.168.1.254 dev eth0 lladdr 60:03:47:2d:8e:ba REACHABLE 192.168.1.4 dev eth0 lladdr 1c:1b:0d:8b:da:17 REACHABLE fe80::6203:47ff:fe2d:8eba dev eth0 lladdr 60:03:47:2d:8e:ba router STALE That's from this box. The first address is my powerless server; the next is my modem-router and the third is my eth0. The last one is the automatically self- assigned IPv6 address as I described above. (It consists of the MAC address with 'fffe' inserted in the middle and the 54th bit from the right set.) I have IPv6 disabled in /etc/conf.d/net at the moment, or I'd have seen a couple more addresses from the ip command. -- Regards, Peter.
