Seem to be hitting a snag.

[Nathanael Nunes]

I am atempting to install debian on a 486.  It seems to work fine execpt
for the networking part.  While booting up it sais NE200 Detected and
that it is using IRQ 9.  Then It starts to inform me that the network is
unreachable.  It does this for any ping or DNS search.  Anything that
anyone could recomend that I check?  I was provided IP numbers for use
on the machine.  I am a bit confused as to what the loop back setings
are for.  
Any sujestions welcome.  Thanks.

 Take a look at /etc/resolv.conf.  It needs to have some lines
 in it.  Mine looks like;
 
 domain CRAY.COM
 search cray.com sgi.com
 nameserver 128.162.xx.xx
 nameserver  128.162.xx.xx
 
 Where the nameserver lines point to the ip address of the DNS host
 or domain name server.
 
 Also take a look at your /etc/gateways file.  Mine looks like:
 
 net default gateway 128.162.xx.xx metric 1
 
 where the ip address points to the gateway here.
 
 BTW, the xx  was really a 1 2 or 3 digit number less than 256
 that was removed for security.  8^)  Don't try to use those exact
 entries, but substitue the ip address of your DNS host and gateway.
