Do you have a netmask you need to enter.. my guess would be you do. If
you really have an IP in the 200.x.x.x range and you have a "class c"
address (where the netmask is 255.255.255.0) you should be fine as is..
but my guess is its less than 172.x more and you need to specify it in
the /etc/netmasks file.. for example, my (old) ISP gave me a 64.x.x.x
address, but it was a class C .. so I had to make /etc/netmasks entries
so that I could find my default router. Can you ping your default router?
.. also trust me on the /etc/hosts file.. sendmail will be happier and
when sendmail is happy, you will be more happy.. you can do ale.local.
if you dont have a domain.
/etc/hosts:
200.0.0.2 ale.yourdomain.com. ale
/etc/netmasks:
200.0.0.0 255.255.255.0
/etc/hostname.hme0:
ale
If it's truely DHCP, he doesn't want that.
If they allow him to statically assign his IPs then that will work.
