If this post is anyway connected to my orignal post then it would be nice if
you guys had responded to the original thread.  If not let me know and I'll but out.
I am aware that 192.168.x.x are local. you may not be aware that I've always used 192.168.1.254, my gateway/router IP,  to connect to 2wire.net and my network DSL configuration page. This was also verified currently correct through ATT Tech support; not the best I admit but what else is one to do.  They also said it applied to both static and DCHP settings. I don't know what you mean by:
"If you don't have a webserver running on
> 192.168.1.254, 
> > firefox cannot connect."  But here's your what gives as I can use any help:
 
lchata    8207  8199  0 15:05 pts/0    00:00:00 grep apache

Doesn't say much.  BTW, I don't have apache installed.

Don't think so. 192.168.1.255 is on my ifcongig output.
