192.168.254.254 tell 192.168.254.254
Originally the first 192.168.254.254 was 192.168.254.1, then .2, etc. I
changed the local addresses in the network configurator to
192.168.254.1, .2, and .3, but I still can't ping anything. Earlier the
only way I could ping was to use -b and 192.168.0.101 (the former
designation of this box) would ping itself. 192.168.254.254 is supposed
to be the router, according to the installation guide.
I can't ping anything from the W95 box and don't know how to change
those addresses in Windows. I never tried to do any networking before I
switched to Linux.
