yes, except i take it that you do not have a dhcp server?
Correct, I will connect to gateway 192.168.0.1
sussed order: #ifconfig eth1 add 192.168.0.2
worked, but not properly - can now ping 192.168.0.1 only (not ..0.2/its proper address).
#ifconfig eth1 add gw 192.168.0.1 gw: Host name lookup failure
route now has (only) two lines (below headings):
Destination Gateway ... Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * ... eth1 loopback localhost ... lo
Also noted I have bash-2.05b# prompt, which should be "gentoo" from /etc/hostname ; have I not logged on to my box's network hostname, or must I disable dhcpd?
ifconfig -h
decryption in train
