SIOCADDRT means there is something wrong with your configuration when trying
to attach routes.
The interface is attached ok or so it seems from the information given, i
would take a bet that you dont have any routes pointing to eth0.
You could try the following on the command line;
route add 123.123.123.123 eth0
route add default gw 123.123.123.123 eth0
# Where 123.123.123.123 would be your_ISP's IP# or the IP# of the
destination address.

Try using 'route <-n>' to check routes before adding the above.
Please would you refrain from attaching HTML formated copies.
