Solved: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

[Phuong Nguyen]

This has been solved by copying parameters the ifcfg-eth0 in my Mandrake 
distribution to the ifconfig.eth0. This file now becomes:

ONBOOT=yes
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IP=10.10.158.82
NETMASK=255.255.252.0
NETWORK=10.10.156.0
BROADCAST=10.10.159.25

I don't know which the key line is. I suppose it shoud be 
BOOTPROTO=static. Does someone experience the same problem?
