[cobalt-users] RAQ2 not seen by router

["CSO Andrew Witham 526" <awitham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have three connections to the router, a Dell P4 PC, a Dell 802.11 wireless
router providing connectivity to several laptops and PDAs, and a Sun RAQ2
appliance web server.  I have good internet connection to the PC and the
wireless network.

The router was configured by Frontier to map my public IP 65.73.29.170 to
the manually set private IP on the RAQ2 192.168.254.4.  The link light on
the RAQ2 is lit, and the TX/RX light flickers indicating network traffic.
The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway is 192.168.254.254 (which
is the router's IP address)

After setting the gateway on the RAQ2 to 192.168.254.254 and saving it, the
RAQ2 reboots and the gateway setting reverts to 010.000.000.001

Frontier says that the router (Efficient Networks 5861) does not see the
RAQ2 connected.  They do not provide me with the router admin password.

Can you advise what the problem might be?  Does the gateway IP address not
save for a 'validity' reason?
