Subject: NET-2 Configuration ??
Date: Tue, 28 Sep 1993 18:32:51 GMT

I have Slackware 1.0.3 and have tried to configure NET-2 TCP/IP software as in the

NET-2 HOWTO. When I try to ping something however, the error is :
   
    sendto: Network is unreachable.

When I try to query the status of the interface, ('ifconfig eth0'), the error is:

    eth0: Unknown interface.

At boottime, the errors produced by 'ifconfig eth0 131.194.137.0 netmask 255.255.255.0' :

 SIOCSIFADDR: Invalid Argument
 SIOCGIFFLAGS: Invalid Argument
 SIOCGIFNETMASK: Invalid Argument

 I'd appreciate any assistance any gurus wish to give.
