Ok I did a clean install of debian (like I have done 20 times before) and in my haste I set the Broadcast address to 192.168.0.255 when it should be 192.168.0.0

I googled on ifconfig and found a few articles tried them. None have worked thus far.

My parameters

eth0 192.168.0.29
Bcast 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
gw 192.168.0.1

after I put in those ifconfig parameters I still get no route to host.

What am I leaving out and how can I change it?

Debian Woody
Old 533MHz celleron Dell Optiplex 100
(2) 15Gig HD's

And running great ....except for no internet.

Try this:

ifconfig eth0 up 198.168.0.29 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1 eth0
