Ping and general network weirdness

[Phil Cooper]

Thanks;

I checked with ifconfig, and fragile's IP is actually 192.168.0.224,  
and I put this in the hosts file.

Now, I can ping and ssh into fragile using the IP address, but  
pinging "fragile" still assumes 192.168.0.116 is it's IP - so does  
the fault now lie with the other machines on the network? How do I  
get them to realise that fragile==192.168.0.224 and not .116?
