Ethernet woes

[Juergen Fiedler <juergen@quotus.com>]

Hi!

I reinstalled Slackware 3.6 and somehow I can't seem to get Linux to
talk to our LAN anymore. If I start PPP, a traceroute to one of the
machines on the LAN looks like that:

>-------SNIP-------<

Looks like the Linux box is looking for a local machine on the Internet
(eclipse.net is our ISP).

A 'route' results in the following:
>-------SNIP-------<
Kernel IP routing table

And ifconfig produces the following output:
>-------SNIP-------<

Seems like I have some serious routing issues (again).Could anybody
please tell me what's wrong here?

TIA,
