All I can say is it works, so, as it's out of my line of competence, "since it ain't broke, I don't fix it". That network is between my computer and the DSL device, which has no address switches on it.
Ah - in that case it indeed doesn't hurt, as an interface that is only being used for PPPoE will never see actual IP traffic, and therefore doesn't even need to have an IP address at all. But on a normal LAN you most probably would have run into problems with an IP address that is identical to the network address, so I thought it would be good to warn you about it.
Well, thanks for the warning. If ever I use Ethernet for an actual LAN (but I don't think I will, at least not anytime soon), I'll remember this -- I hope. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
