Well... in the /etc/init.d/network file is the following lines inserted? /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 host_name netmask 255.255.255.0 Add the kernel routing table /sbin/route add -net 198.168.1.0 dev eth0 /sbin/route add -host host_name dev eth0 And finally I display the kernel's routing table # display route table /bin/netstat -rn I have found that by adding items to the display I have found the cause of many hidden problems.
