Misconfiguration after months without touching

Well, I guess it's resolved.
I did a reboot of the host and never received a new warning anymore..... weird, I wonder what's changed under the hood of the machine. Creepy,

That's correct. Little by little I'm still receiving e-mails from OVH saying eventually all my VM's are misconfigured now....

So I assume from that the IP of the host is: 188.165.243.x

Well, I suppose I will just wait for a day or a night to see if they will send me a 2nd warning or not
The 'mirror' - machine with the same IP-config (but different IP ofcourse) wasn't warned.
Also 2 Windows-machines got warned without having touched anything. And they're all running for several months already.

7 Other virtual machines apparently are okay, also without altering their config...... very weird.

Otherwise maybe I'll restore some backups from before today, maybe something happened (which I hope not ofcourse)

You're right, of course, and I have no idea how I misread the guide Everything seems correct with your configuration.

Are you sure about that? http://help.ovh.co.uk/BridgeClient says
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address IP.FAIL.OVER
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast IP.FAIL.OVER
post-up route add GATEWAY_VM dev eth0
post-up route add default gw GATEWAY_VM
pre-down route del GATEWAY_VM dev eth0
pre-down route del default gw GATEWAY_VM

The broadcast IP on eth0 should be 188.165.243.254

Hello Careimages,

Nothing has been changed. The physical machine still has the same IP as before. Neither have I received an e-mail from SYS about an upcoming IP change :/

As this is a virtual machine, my guess is that the physical machine has changed IP address so that the gateway address you're using is no longer correct.

Hello all,

Today I have been receiving mails from Soyoustart about a misconfiguration of my server.
However, I don't understand as I haven't been touching it's network settings for several months. Suddenly it turns out to be misconfigured?

I hope you can help me to figure out what's the problem exactly.
These are the network settings for my virtual machine
Code:
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
        address 5.135.252.13
        netmask 255.255.255.255
        broadcast 5.135.252.13
        post-up route add 188.165.243.254 dev eth0
        post-up route add default gw 188.165.243.254
        pre-down route del 188.165.243.254 dev eth0
        pre-down route del default gw 188.165.243.254

iface eth1 inet static
        address 10.200.10.3
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 10.200.10.255
        network 10.200.10.0
Eth1 is down by the way, so can't interfere with anything.

Routing table shows:
Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
default         vss-gw-6k.fr.eu 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
vss-gw-6k.fr.eu *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth0
Anyone any clue where is the issue?
