 255.255.255.0 is for netmask i thought.

 233.100.1.1 is a fictive address for my very own network. Could be 
altered to anything else of course.

 Can anyone provide a _valid_ hostname.le0 entry please?

 The GENERIC kernel i use has both configured. I can even access eon0 - but
what is it? .-)

 I feel desperate :-/
 Any ideas how to debug this problem? netstat is no big help.
