I assume that your trying to network a linux box to a Win95 box. If
that is so I found that if I put in a gateway on my Linux box my
network didn't work at all.
I changed the network script to
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask${NETMASK}
/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} # for 2/2/x Kernels
then route -n
VT1 root-Deb-Slink:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
