Thank you for very good distro!

I got an idea about to put my old 133mhz 48 mb ram computer in to the garage so i can listen mp3streams while i fix cars and ofcourse get information on internet.

But network won´t work.
I have tested it with 3com etherlink3 3C509B-C.
Netcardconfig finds two cards? eth0&eth1.
I try to set the right ip-settings and nameservers but it just wont ping to other machines on my home network.
I was root when i try to ping
route -n says:
Destination   Gateway   Genmask      Flags  Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0   0.0.0.0   255.255.255.0   U       0     0    0   eth1
0.0.0.0       192.168.0.8   0.0.0.0        UG      0     0    0   eth1

Right setting should be:
ip: 192.168.0.5
netmask: 255.255.255.0
dns: 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.8
gateway: 192.168.0.8

This would be awesome distro for my use if i could get the network work
Excuse my bad english

does ifconfig show your pings getting out ? (any tx) rx ?
are you sure the .8 box has the same mask ?
your destination xxx.xxx.0.0 looks like it might be masked as 255.255.0.0  ?
