Re: urgent help needed for network problem!

# grep -r 128.252.85.254 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*

shows nothing, and # cat /etc/network shows nothing too.

My IP is 128.252.85.129 and gateway IP is 128.252.85.254.

Again, right now (afternoon) it does not show problem, so the school
network office turned it up (so I can send the mails out).  But, they say 
that the system showed problem yesterday to this morning.
