Yes, actually. Where shall we start?! Your /etc/init.d/network looks
pretty screwed up. The lo ("loopback") interface should *always*
have the IP address 127.0.0.1 (I won't go into why this is so).
At any rate try changing the file to this:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
IPADDR=192.168.13.114
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.13.0
BROADCAST=192.168.13.255
GATEWAY=192.168.13.1
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
I think this will work for you. If not, post the messages which
print out at boot.
