The second line shows the internet address to be 192.168.1.122
and I can't get rid of this.
I do the delete internet address command and  ifconfig does show
that it is gone but as soon as I try another ping it's right back.
Also the set internet address command will not set the address
of my router.
I have transferred all off my date files off of this box and
at this point I'm just going to give up and reinstall.
Neither the wired or the wireless comes up after boot which
makes me think that the entire network system it smashed.
What a PITA, I will certainly think twice before doing my next update.
