I have the same problem. I know that I have good stuff and all the
right answers to the questions. Also, ifconfig'ing eth0 now adds a
route entry saying that the machine is not here but somewhere out there
on the net. If I don't delete that improper route entry, I start getting
socket distroy delayed messages. As for ifconfig reporting the wrong
io address, when did this change? Until very recently, it was reporting
everything correctly.
