Here is an answer I sent to someone else that had the same problem.
I think you must be using kernel 2.2.x. If so, that is the problem.
I have changed my /etc/init.d/network to work under 2.2.3 like this
if [ $(uname -r |grep 2.0) ]; then
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0
ifconfig ppp ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast
${BROADCAST}
/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK}
else
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask
${NETMASK}
fi
I forget now where the ref is but the above does work. Something to
do with the new kernel setting the route when it finds the network
card, IIRC.
