Andy,

I still have a related problem. After removing the old IP (212....) and rebooting.
-- VPN into the new IP (85...)
-- ifconfig still shows the old IP in ppp0 !

I have verified from 2 different client computers, but ppp0 always shows the old IP.
I have verified that no firewall nat rules reference the old IP.
I have rebooted the VPS a couple of times.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sandy

I mean that you should adjust the configuration files that the
system uses on boot to set up its networking so that the old IP
addresses don't come back.

…and if you are running a RHEL-based one then it would be in
/etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Cheers,
Andy
