can't assign requested address nn7j

Dan disturbed my sleep to write:

Hm...First of all, where are you trying to SSH from?  If you're able to
SSH from *another* box, that's a good sign.  And as for pinging, where
are you trying to ping from -- the box with de2, or another box entirely?
Also, can you show the output of "ifconfig de2"?

Thanks,
Hugh
