Typo: bogus address is <http://16.2.0.0:8080>, NOT <http://16.2.0.0-8080>
(colon
instead of dash).

Did you try to disable 3G connection?

Yes, I disabled 3G. No change - still have the same incorrect IP address.
Rebooted phone, and tried iChm again, with 3G still disabled; same incorrect IP
address shown by iChm file manager.
The same incorrect IP address was displayed using both my work wifi network and
my
home wifi network.

Can I simply use ssh/sftp to transfer files? What directory do they reside in?
I have
xfered many ebooks and other files using ssh/sftp. I don't need to use the iChm
file
manager if iChm will recongnize files placed in the proper location by other
means.

If you know how to upload files via ssh/sftp, you can try to upload files to
the Documents directory of iChm.
But I am still curious where this strange ip comes from.

If you look at the reviews in the app store it appears that at least one other
person
is having a similar problem.

I knew that. But I can't reproduce it. Even on some jailbreak iPhone and iPod
touch. It's quite abnormal. I am not
sure if it related with any of the applications users may have installed.

Hi, I am still investigating on this. I have one question, do you have anything
like VPN enabled when you get this
bogus ip address?

Just letting you know I have seen this behaviour also and been trying to get to
the
bottom of it for months now. In my case it is causing problems on my network
where
I'm running a number of computers with DHCP clients. About once a month a
client
picks up DHCP from the iPhone, which then proxies the internet connection. The
client computer then has access to the Internet but not to the LAN since the
address
is out of the LAN range.
I have a jailbroken iPhone which gives me access to network services like SSH.
I'd
like to know if this problem is confined to jailbroken iPhones. At first I
thought
it was due to PDAnet, but I've now eliminated that.
The only anomaly I found on the iPhone was that ifconfig reported two IP
addresses
including "inet 16.2.0.0 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 169.254.111.127". I
could not
see any evidence that the iPhone had an address of 169.254.111.111, yet I could
ssh
there from the client computer and find I am attached to the iPhone. I cannot
see an
obvious dhcp service running. The 169.254.x.x is often used when the computer
cannot
find a network and allows peer-to-peer networking. My guess is that this is
something to do with the OS (Darwin) trying to set up networking when it cannot
find
a DHCP server.
The fix for the problem is to type the following commands into the iPhone
console (of
a jailbroken iPhone of course):
ifconfig en0 16.2.0.0
ifconfig en0 16.2.0.0 remove
This fixes the problem until the iPhone picks up the rogue address again. Now
if
anyone knows how to stop this happening in the first place...

Thanks for the information. At least it proves that this is not the problem of
iChm.
So far, all the people who report this problem to me have their iphone
jailbroken.
