DSL Embedded :: Networking frustration

I am using dsl-embedded 1.0.1 and having a time trying to setup networking by default it will boot with a 10.0.2.x ip and I can surf and ping the 192.168.100.182 address on my host NIC (WIN2K) but when I try to set dsl-embed for 192.168.100.x/24 ip nothing works??
checked all the common stuff subnet mask, ip, routes, ifup
etc. and ensured that all settings. used

ip addr add 192.168.100.123/24 broad + dev eth0
ip route add default via 192.168.100.1

in order for this distro to be of use I have to be able to network it to the host OS (Windows 2000), can anybody help me with this??

how is dsl-emulating the NIC?

Go to the QEMU website and read up about how QEMU handles virtual PC networking.

DSL runs inside a "fake PC" or "virtual PC" with the QEMU program.
