No, 192.168.1.0 is fine. But there should also be a
route shown for lo (loopback). This all comes back
to the rc.inet1 problem. That file sets up lo:
---------------------------------------------
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo
---------------------------------------------
Looks like you need all of that to get ethernet
to work.

If you look in /etc/rc in BL3, you will see:
---------------------------------------------
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo
---------------------------------------------
It's the usual thing to do (at least in Slackware),
but I didn't realize (until now) how crucial it is.

Cheers,
Steven
