Hi mcr42! Thank you for your reply :)

I thought that we used netmain_init() to apply new IP address that we just assigned. Otherwise, the ethernet card would not notice the new ip address, am I correct?

Well, I will try not to call netmain_init() after assign a new IP address, and see what happen. Maybe netmain_init() is the reason for my three times problems (fyi, on that time I tried to do static --> static --> static ip address assignment).

Thanks! :)
