Network configuration problem.



I have a print server and two PCs networked via hardwire through a
router. These devices are assigned static IPs 192.168.1.10, 11,
and 12 respectively and had been running successfully for several
years.

One of the PCs (192.168.1.11), running Red Hat 9, experienced an AC
power failure which apparently damaged some files in the root ext2
partition. After a session with fsck I am able to boot up this
system. Most everything appears normal except I can not connect to
the printer or internet with this PC.

The Network Configuration Tool shows that device eth0 is inactive.
However attempting to activate this device yields the message:
"Error, some other host already uses address 192.168.1.11".

How can I find out where this "phantom host" configuration is
located and delete it.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Charles Sullivan
