Hi Bahadir,

Yeah, I got the same early this morning, and I figured that the IP
address is hardcoded in that file but also hardcoded in the dhcp
configuration. I'm guessing that you expect all the machines in the
network to be configured with DHCP, and I agree that the most user
friendly way to do it :) (Thanks to Pardus devels for that!)

Right now, im reconfiguring all the machines to use DHCP. The reason I
had manually set IPs before was because I was using Pardus 2007 as my
router, and now it has been updated to 2009.

PS: Not sure if this is worth it or not, but "pisi info -f iptables",
does not show the /var/db/comar3/scripts/Network.Firewall/iptables.py
... which made it a bit difficult to find initially. It does say that
it provides System.Service and Network.Firewall though.
