*lol*
i used .x because i tried several different addresses with the same result.
i assigned my normal boxes adresses in the range of .10 to .99 and tried these at the linux box:
.19 <- not used on other boxes
.111 <- far away from the other range, just to be sure
.200 - .230 <- the router should hand out these with dhcp, the linux box couldn't get one, for whatever reason...
.210 <- assigned manually, while the router was dhcp enabled

thanks for your patience :)
