SO after you enter the information manually can you ping the ip of the
interface itself? If you can then make sure you're loading the right
module for your network card. I once saw this ona intel box where the card
was sis900 but a rtl8139 module was loaded for it. SO what was happenign
was that it would ping itself but no one else. What messages come up on
tty10 usually there are some kernel messages on tty10.
