Hello.

   I'm running NetBSD 1.2 GENERICOTHER #0 on a 486, and am trying to set it
up to use the static slip line in my dorm room. Whenever I ping (or do any
other network activitity) I get a No route to host error.

   I'm running out of ideas here... Does anybody have any suggestions?

Some info:
/etc/hostname.sl0
inet 137.28.252.244 255.255.0.0 255.255.255.255
dest 137.28.2.1
(I've tried playing with many different values for the broadcast and
network mask, to no avail.)

/etc/mygate
137.28.2.1

netstat -r reports:

Destination     Gateway         Flags        Interface
default         137.28.2.1      UGS             sl0
localhost       localhost       UH              lo0
vroom           localhost       UGHS            lo0
255.255.0.0

  I have slattach -h -s 38400 /dev/tty00 in /etc/rc, right before netstart.

   Thanks in advance.
   Jason
