Here's more info about the situation
Here is what I get from netstat -nr:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt
Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 eth0
Here's what I get from ifconfig eth0:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:3B:22:5E
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Collisions:0
Interrupt:10 Base address:0xb000
And this might help also, this is my init network script under debian 2.1:
#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0 lo
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
I know the route command for eth0 is missing, but the kernel sets one up
automatically.
