Ok, let's try this:
# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.106 broadcast 192.168.1.255 \
netmask 255.255.255.0
Then, instead of attempting to ping your router, try pinging another
system on the network.
Then try this:
# /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1 metric 1
And try pinging things again.
Do you know for sure your network card works and the network cable is
good? That is, did it work in Windows or something?
