My fault here, sorry, it is if fact configured that way:
iface eth1 inet dhcp
hostname pump
I read 'static' form the interface eth0 and wrote things down wrong.

As far as I can tell from ifconfig's output, it's up and has the
correct IP, broadcast and netmask.

My system is now Potato 2.2r0 and this file doesn't even exist. Note
that I'm using pump as dhcp client, I don't know if this is relevant.
Querying pump for the status of the interface (pump -i eth1 --status)
shows that eth1 is fully configured.

This is a good clue !! My old one-diskette system has a routing
table like this:
Destination Gateway Netmask Iface
10.7.2.1 * 255.255.255.255 eth1
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 eth0
200.70.32.0 * 255.255.255.0 eth1
default 10.7.2.1 0.0.0.0 eth1
The recently installed Potato system's table has:
Destination Gateway Netmask Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.0 eth0
200.70.32.0 * 255.255.255.0 eth1
It's strange to me that 'pump -i eth1 --status' shows correctly the
gateway (10.7.2.1), nameservers, etc. So I tried to add the two missing
entries, and it failed.
root:> route add default gw 10.7.2.1 dev eth1
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
and:
root:> route add 10.7.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev eth1
dboostrap_settings: Unknown host
I guess perhaps the initialization scripts also tried to set up the
correct routing entries and failed.
Any further suggestions ??
Thanks for your help !!
