[ale] I can't fix this routing problem

[Ben Conrad]

Folks,

I have a Sparc IPX hooked up to a 3Com cable modem.  Initially I had eth0
(internal) and eth1 (external) in the IPX and was trying to get a DHCP addr
via Pump/DHCPCD for eth1 through the cable modem.   I've since hooked up a
NT box (DHCP) to test the network and it works fine.  So I've rebooted the
cable modem, changed my ipaddr on the IPX to be static and I've removed
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 so that eth1 won't come up, only
eth0.  I think I have a routing problem because when I add the default route
"route add default gw 146.115.26.1" I can no longer ping eth0 or the ip of
the gateway.  PLEASE HELP, I think i've provided enough info below.  Thanks
Much!  Ben.

This is what I have now: eth0 with a static addr (same as the DHCP addr I
was getting on NT).
