That's a "link local" address. The idea is you can connect two computers together, without benefit of a DHCP server or manual configuration. The 169.254.x.x range is supposed to be blocked by routers, so you should never see one of those addresses on the internet. Windows and Mac systems do it too. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
