I checked the route this morning and there were two set for eth0. Both
of them had a default gateway of 0.0.0.0 I removed everything and added
them back. I couldn't set the gateway though, I had to instead use
route add default gw <gateway address>
Now I can at least attempt to ping places. Before I couldn't ping
anything. It was saying "Connect: invalid argument" Now it all the
pings just fail, even to 127.0.0.1.
Thanks again,
