The ip commands removed the dhcp clients and assigned the address
192.168.2.104 to eth0 but still no gateway . I am reading an online
manual and tried adding 'via 192.168.2.102' to the ip command but this
was clearly wrong. ip responded, "Either 'local' is a duplicate or 'via'
is a garbage. I'll study the manual more closely. In any event iproute
is clearly the way to go and fortunately "-d lenny" installed it when I
built the Debian Live CD.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
