i don't know where you take your ip from... maybe from the same range your pc is in?

I have got ip address now and I even set virtula IP.
However every time I reboot server those ip are cleared ...

Is it normal ?

Thnx

yes it is.... you have to put your ip configuration into the config files!

/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname.interfacename

I put entries into hosts
# Internet host table
#
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost ambush
134.251.221.159 ambush
134.251.221.160 zam #vertial ip
~

and into hostname.le0

However if I reboot mashine they are cleared ??

oops jus correct myself - the ip addresses are cleared
