Hi--I need a hand...

I swapped out my D-link router for a Magnia appliance server and my Airnet config has gone squiggly on me...

Airnet + DWL-650 card was working fine under previous config so I don't think its hardware...

I'm trying to assign the nic card a static IP of 192.168.2.3, Magnia is at 192.168.2.1, dhcp pool is 192.168.2.100-237, and I have a WAP at 192.168.2.2 (so I know assigning static IPs outside the dhcp pool is okay)

Dlink router was similarly setup except it was at 192.168.0.1, 255.255.245.0

I run nic_config_tivo from a serial bash prompt and enter IP=192.168.2.3, subnet=255.255.255.0, gateway=192.168.2.1 and everything "sticks" except the gateway which keeps flipping back to "dchp"..I reboot after each attempt to no avail...

Here's what I get from ifconfig and nic_config_tivo:

bash-2.02# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

Any help greatly appreciated!! Thanx in advance, Beth
