Can you ping the router?

Can you edit the router config using a browser?

Step 1: activate NIC  (check by looking for eth0 in dmesg)

Step 2: set address  (check by doing ifconfig)

Step 3: check connection to router:  ping [router address]

Step 4: set default gateway: route add default gw [router address]

Step 5: check default route:  route
