The network is still unreachable although all the machines

Could the problem be the IP address 169.254.122.180 is still assigned to
eth0? I have been unable to remove this and it is always the first item
in the output of ifconfig. It is now followed by an entry for eth0:0
which contains the 192.168.2.102 address. If the firewall sees
169.254.122.180 it will drop the message on the floor.

can I suggest you us ip (from the iproute package).

If you interface was originally a dhcp interface, you have to kill
dhcpclient as well as assigning a new address to the interface.

try
ip addr show dev eth0

then
find and kill any dhcp clients looking on eth0
ip a flush dev eth0

then add your address information

ip a a dev eth0 192.168.2.102/24

use

ip route show

to show your route table

Alex

The ip commands removed the dhcp clients and assigned the address
192.168.2.104 to eth0 but still no gateway . I am reading an online
manual and tried adding 'via 192.168.2.102' to the ip command but this
was clearly wrong. ip responded, "Either 'local' is a duplicate or 'via'
is a garbage. I'll study the manual more closely. In any event iproute
is clearly the way to go and fortunately "-d lenny" installed it when I
built the Debian Live CD.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Tom

All OK. ip route add default via 192.168.2.102 did the trick. Running
from the Debian Live CD I can now connect to the internet.
