   Pete, try this... change your IP setting to 192.168.1.x   - most home   
   routers are on subnet 1, not 255.  I've used a few different pcmcia   
   network cards with BeOS 5.03, 5.1(dano), and Zeta.  For a direct   
   connection, I use an old Linksys PCM100, which shows up as an NE2K, and   
   for wireless, I use the old AT&T WaveLan, though you need stuff from Dano   
   and Bone 7 to make wireless work (and WEP doesn't work).   
      
   As for using a static IP - I'd recommend you don't.  Set it for DHCP and   
   let the network do the guessing.  All my stuff is off a Linksys WRT54G,   
   and I run BeOS 5.03(wired desktop), SuSE Linux 9.1(wired desktop), SuSE   
   9.0(wireless laptop), Mepis Linux(wireless laptop), and my Wife runs   
   W'98(wireless laptop).  I've also used BeOS 5.1(Dano wired & wireless on a   
   laptop), BeOS 5.03(wired laptop), and Zeta (wired laptop).
