okay, I am sorry for having provided incomplete details.. I am using Debian 2.1r5 (downloaded only yesterday) on my pentium III machine with realtek RTL8139 ethernet card. I had installed from floppy earlier.. but probably botched up a few things so decided to install from dos, following some very good suggestions I got from this list. But the problem still remains and I still get Network Unreachable.
