[lug] problems manually configuring IP...

[John Hernandez]

Hmm.  That's odd.  If you don't mind, send the output of:

Send the output of:

netstat -r

ifconfig eth0

arp -a

Am I missing anything?

I see the loopback and eth0 interfaces, the eth0 interface is listed as up with an IP address of 10.0.0.47, the routing table shows the default route for network 10.0.0.0 is through eth0, and shows the default gateway as 10.0.0.250 going through eth0.  No other interfaces are configured and the gateway IP is correct.  I try to ping 10.0.0.6 which is a server that is responding from another machine, but I get no replies.
