This should be a simple one - where/how does a roach1 store its network settings? I need to change a static IP address. Editing /etc/network/interfaces and rebooting does not seem to do the trick, instead I had to use: ifconfig eth0 xxx.xx.xx.xx netmask 255.255.248.0
A bigger problem is getting a working DNS nameserver. I have one roach that has no problem resolving any name I give it while another can only access other machines using numerical IPs (or if you add them to the /etc/hosts file). Editing /etc/resolv.conf makes no difference and in any case that file is the same in both roaches. Thanks Simon Dicker
