13 config_eth0="192.168.74.101 netmask 255.255.255.0"
14 #routes_eth0="default via 8.8.8.8"
15 routes_eth0="default via 192.168.74.1"

17 I assume 192.168.74.1 is your modem. Correct? No mention of
18 broadcast address. I don't know if that's critical or not. Try either
19 of the following...
20
21 config_eth0="192.168.74.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.74.255"
22 routes_eth0="default via 192.168.74.1"
23
24 or
25
26 config_eth0="192.168.74.101/24 broadcast 192.168.74.255"
27 routes_eth0="default via 192.168.74.1"
