Hello Debianners!!!

        This time I am writing to get a solution to my problem. Here is
it:
        Since I have upgraded Debian (hamm to slink through
APT-GET), a boot message bothers me. Since it had not showed any
problems, I leave it there without questioning where did it come from!
        This message was:
        ¨SIOCADDRT: Operation not supported by device¨
        Now I am trying to get my Debian box to work to an (argh!!!)
Windowze box through a null modem with a PPP interface. I am too early
in the system yet, but, when I tryed to install a routing entry in my
route table using:
        ¨route add -net 192.168.1.0¨
        My Debian box returns the same message: ¨SIOCADDRT: ....¨.
        So, I start to ¨hunt¨ where the first message was coming from,
and I have discovered that it comes from /etc/init.d/network, which is
as simple as this:
        ¨#! /bin/sh¨
        ¨ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1¨
        ¨route add -net 127.0.0.0¨
        
        So... please... if there is anyone who can tell what is going
on and how to fix it I would really appreciate.

        TIA
