I am trying to ping with ip addresses (e.g. ping 192.168.0.2).

Here is the results of route:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
generic10.infoa *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
home            *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
default         generic10.infoa 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0

Somewhere (not sure where :), "home" became an alias for 192.168.0.0/24,
because if I issue the following command:

	route add -net 192.168.0.0/24 eth0

My routing table looks exactly the same, except I get another line like
this:

home            *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
