Terry,
There's a few things to check out to ensure that Netview doesnt have the IP
Address somewhere in its database:
1- along with the ovobjprint, try "ovtopodump -l ip_name" & "ovtopodump -l
ip.address".
2- make sure DNS & /etc/hosts/ have forward & reverse resolution.
3- run "rnetstat -i ip_address" against the ip address of the router.
Dont forget to delete the address from ALL submaps that you find.
Good Luck,
--Dermott
