[PLUG] Networking question

[Eric <eric@lucii.org>]

A friend of mine who uses SME server (E-smith) has set up his network 
as you'll see below.  He's had me log in and try to fix it but, 
unfortunately, I'm not a networking guru.  Can any of you make sense 
of this and offer some insight?

TIA,
Eric
