Thanks for the help so far:)

Indeed, I can ping myself. I'd tried that a while back and it didn't work, but I guess I got past another problem.  My
network is a cider block- netmask 255.255.255.224, but I've tried .0 as well.  Here follows the results of 'cat
/net/iproute' , laboriously typed in by memory walking between rooms:
64.2.27.8 is meant to be my ip and .1, my gateway

0.0.0.0		/96	64.2.27.1		4	none	-
64.0.0.0		/128	64.0.0.0		4b	ifc	-
64.2.27.0		/123	64.2.27.0		4i	ifc	0
64.2.27.0		/128	64.2.27.0		4b	ifc	-
64.2.27.8		/128	64.2.27.8		4u	ifc	0
64.2.27.31	/128	64.2.27.31	4b	ifc	-
64.255.255.255	/128	64.255.255.255	4b	ifc	-
255.255.255.255	/128	255.255.255.255	4b	ifc	-

I've removed my changes to /lib/ndb/local and booted with the following ip config line in my termrc and no other
configuration related to ip (as far as I know)

ip/ipconfig -g 64.2.27.1 ether /net/ether0 64.2.27.8 255.255.255.224

As I said, I've tried .0 on the end of my netmask as well and I still cant ping my gateway or .3 which is on the same hub.

What could I be overlooking?  Do I need something in my /lib/ndb/local?  I've set that file up with a classA section and
the ipsubnet parameter. It all looks the same as the several examples I've read through.
