But you probably have a hostname, so put that in
there and let it resolve to the IP via /etc/hosts,
that's much more flexible.

You may put in short and full hostname  here,
this will prevent some future problems (with ssh, for instance):

::1           localhost
127.0.0.1     localhost  loghost
69.146.183.59 tryphon tryphon.ds

Hm, on a7 there should have appeared a dhcp-server, which
should be off. There's also the ipv4-forwarding service,
which should be off for the first shot, not sure if you
need that with zones and IP-NAT.

Nothing else than the milestone:network gets reset, which may
does not help you at all. You usually should restart
network/physical and give it half a minute to recover, or
reboot to be sure.
