You know, I was reviewing the emails I have received on this topic and noticed
that you mentioned using a crossover cable (whucdh I had failed to do). So I
excitedly plugged a cable into the switch and the eth0. Unfortunately a light
indicating activity failed to come on. Undaunted I pinged with the following
results:

bmike1@1[bmike1]$ sudo ping -bc 5 10.255.255.255

            [ -T timestamp option ] [ -Q tos ] [hop1 ...] destination
bmike1@1[bmike1]$      

So it seems that was not the problem.
