After doing a "ping 195.168.0.2" for a few seconds this is what it said for eth0: eth 0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:44:01:1E:36 inet addr:195.168.0.1 Bcast:195.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 METRIC:1 RX Packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:32 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:8965 (8.7 kb) Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300 Dennis Fowler
