Ok, update time.. 
we seem to be making progress.  
I've changed some of the IPaddreses just for GP (there's a client sitting over
my shoulder...)
 now I'm doing 

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 192.239.1.73 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.239.1.255
ifconfig eth0 up
route add default gw 206.168.1.199 metric 1

and I get 

SIOCADDRT: Network is Unreachable

the readout from ifconfig is
Link encap:ethernet 	HWaddrXX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
inet addr:192.239.1.73  Bcast:192.239.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
<SNIP>Packet stuff, recieved = 103, transmit = 0  blah , blah</SNIP> 

Still no help from man & info & HOW-TO
V

so I'm closer, but still no ping..
