[Techtalk] network trouble

Hi all,

IP addresses from this range are assigned if an interface
is configured to get its address via DHCP but no DHCP server is
found. (see RFC3330, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3330.txt,
"Special-Use IPv4 Addresses")

I have the same problem at work with RedHat machines that have
two NICs but only one is active (ONBOOT=yes). If the other one is
inactive and configured to use DHCP, the route for the link-local range is
still set up.
I'd very much like to see this resolved, so if you have a
solution, please tell me. :-)

regards,
dominik
