Besides the previous suggestion of grepping the IP out of your configs,
you may have multiple copies of nagios running. An old one may be
running with an old config in which you had specified the IP as .29.
Make sure that you only have one master nagios daemon running (stop
nagios, kill any that remain and start nagios again).
