is this really what you typed? it's wrong.
ip/ipconfig -g 192.168.0.1 ether /net/ether0 192.168.0.4 255.255.255.0
you did not put in the ether mediatype.

well, that is 'bad'.
it can happen however, with certain stupid motherboards that put the
ether mac into CMOS. I've had it happen. The BIOS very happily jams
the garbage MAC address into hardware. Erik's suggestion is a good
one. It would sure be helpful if you could show us more about your
hardware.
