I'm using the BDI version. I tried to ping and it came back and said "64
bytes from 32.97.166.75: 1cpm_seq=1 ttl=243 time=240ms". it keeps
updating the seq number.Dont know if its working or not. I checked the
/etc/sysconfig/network and the only things there are "NETWORKING yes"
and "HOSTNAME localhost -localname". in the /ect/resolv.conf there is
only one word "search".
