I have a strange problem in Linux Kernel 2.4.18. If I use "ifconfig eth0 down", It is not releasing the IP address. Still I am able to ping to that IP address.
Not from stations on the network of eth0.
what is the problem?
There is no problem. You simply have not deleted the ip address yet. ifconfig down just deactivates the link to that network, not the local IP.
ip addr flush eth0
