Run "netstat -rn"[1] and see if you have a route that looks like 

Destination	Gateway	     Genmask	    Flags    MSS Window  irtt Iface
192.168.0.0	0.0.0.0	     255.255.255.0  U	    1500 0 	    0 eth0

If not, your version of ifconfig doesn't add the route automagically (which is
a brain dead thing to do anyway).

This is correct. SMC nics are crap, Ray, crap. SMC network cards (ISA ones
anyway) will report an IO address 0x10 higher than what you set it at.

This is only if you really want to force the issue. Most of the time they'll
probe right.

[2] Incorrect according to common[4] sense. You're looking at a routing table,
    not network statistics.[3]
