Nick, you mean that the difference is connected basically to the fact that at home I am running RH9 while at office RH8.0???In RedHat 9 the 169.254.0.0/16 gets added to the routing table on boot. Probably to play nicely with windows boxen. In Windows 2000+, if there is no DHCP server available, an APIPA address (169.254.x.x) is assigned.
To stop RedHat from using it, try adding the following line to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files: NOZEROCONF='yes'
For more info on zeroconf, see http://www.zeroconf.org/
Hope this helps, Nick
