Grrrrrrrrr!  Wonderful.  That seemed to work just fine, thanks. Cole came
up with that solution a little earlier, but didn't mention why it 
worked.

So, what's this 'ip' command?  mwl mentioned something about it 
replacing all the other tradition Unix-type networking commands like 
ifconfig, netstat, etc.

Anyone have a definitive explanation as to what 'ip' is, and, more 
importantly, WHERE IT'S DOCUMENTED!!!!! :)

Thanks,
