Thanks for any feedback.

Ckeck your settings with ifconfig to make
sure that the entries for eth0 are correct.
You can also make changes with ifconfig:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 bradcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
Obviously you may have to change the
numbers to reflect your own network.
You can turn the interface on and off with
ifconfig too:
# ifconfig eth0 up
and
# ifconfig eth0 down
