But there were two IP addresse on there: The remaining, correct IPv4 address, and some IPv6 address. I've now also deleted that IPv6 address, but it's still no-go. > Also did you do this? > > ifconfig ifname delete inet alias aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd I did: ifconfig ifname inet aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd -alias and: ifconfig ifname inet aaa.bbb.ccc.eee which looks similar according to the manual. At least, the latter should overwrite any remnants of the original assignment. Trying to delete the already non-listed address yields: ifconfig: SIOCDIFADDR: Can't assign requested address I wasn't trying to delete an alias, but instead change the main address to the (former) alias, and then delete the original address. > route add default gw aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd What? The default gateway is already set, but to a quite different machine. As for the 'arp' and 'route' suggestions: * No suspicious information turns up there. I only see remote machines in these displays anyway. * The problem now persists for several weeks. Enough time for arp to time out in any case. Best, --Toni++
