OK, if I run ifconfig I got the same thing, but in lo, the inet address
is the same that in eth0. Is that correct?

I can ping my machine an doing telnet and ftp to it (with telnet and ftp
I got _connection refused_ but I think it's OK because I've got no
server running). But it doesn't work with the other machines in my
network. So I can't make a query to my dns server.
I have also been told to setup routing. If I type #route add default
eth0" nothing changes. If I add it to /etc/init.d , nothing changed
either. My init.d file looks like:
ifconfig lo 192.168.13.1 (my gateway)
route add -net 192.168.13.0
IPADDR=192.168.13.114
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.13.0
BROADCAST=192.168.13.255
GATEWAY=192.168.13.1
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
I have add to it the line route add default eth0, but it doesn't work
either.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you.
