[PLUG] Connect: Network not reachable

[King Beowulf]

Just some thoughts:
Did you check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages for clues? Are you
running wired or wireless? Did you run "netconfig" as root to get a
good base setup (you can then tweak after)? Are you running wicd
and/or network manager? Can't use both!  Also, if using nm, you can't
manually specify network params: they have to be set with the nm
applet.  Is your router/modem/whatever set to block certain MAC
addresses from getting out?
