OSR5 FAQ
Why do I have to relink after just changing an ip address?
The kernel knows its own ip address, even in single user mode where TCP/IP is obviously not running. A machine in init state 1 will still respond to pings, for example.
So you'd think perhaps that's why you need to relink, but a little experimentation shows that even without relinking, a single user machine still responds to the address put in with netconfig.
Apparently, then, there is no reason to relink if you are just changing IP addresses- it works fine without it.
