I have a server running on a Windows 98 machine and viewer running on a 
Mandrake 8.2 Linux machine and the two units are joined by a bidirectional 
cable. These are the only two machines on this little network. The server is 
showing in the tray of the W98 unit and gives the IP as: 169.254.73.250. When 
I ping it from the viewer end (Linux) I get the following.

#ping 169.254.73.250 (169.254.73.250) from 64.26.139.96 : 56 (84) bytes of 
data from 206.191.7.113 host unreachable

When I run the #vncviewer 169.254.73.250 it tells me that it can't reach the 
network.

Following is the ifconfig of my NIC.


eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:D0:B7:4F:38:86
          inet addr:192.168.0.5  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:61 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:49 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:11111 (10.8 Kb)  TX bytes:6822 (6.6 Kb)
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xb800

Above is the "ifconfig" result and what confuses me is where the two IP's 
came from: "from 64.26.139.96" and "from 206.191.7.113" in the above ping 
result.

What am I missing? Any help appreciated.

All the best,

Bill.
