Henry,

That explains the weird /etc/hosts, 0.1 is localhost as you say. Here 
are the results of the pings, ifconfig, and netstat - it looks odd, but 
I'm not that knowledgeable about how it ought to look. My comments are 
inline:

The first ping just sat there until I killed it:

# ping localhost
^C

Then I tried pinging a set number of times:

# ping -c 5 localhost
PING 5: 0 data bytes
^C----5 PING Statistics----
7 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

Then I tried the ip you suggested:

# ping 0.0.0.1
PING 0.0.0.1: 56 data bytes
^C
----0.0.0.1 PING Statistics----
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

Then the address from the hosts file:

# ping 0.1
PING 0.1: 56 data bytes
^C
----0.1 PING Statistics----
5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

The ifconfig result looks promising:

# ifconfig qe0
qe0: flags=43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING>
         inet 192.168.0.132 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255

The 192.168 line in the netstat results is weird to me...:

# netstat -rn
Routing tables
Destination      Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use Interface
default          192.168.0.1        UG          0       15  qe0
192.168          192.168.0.132      U           1       24  qe0

Does this shed any light on my problem?

Thanks,

Will
