What makes you think that you have lost your network? ifconfig shows
that networking is running and has an IP address (10.1.0.8).

We'll need some additional information:

* How do you have your network configured? Are you using a static IP
address or DHCP to assign and address?

* What gave you the impression the networking is not working?
Specifically what did you do and how did it fail (eg, I typed 'ftp
ftp.microsoft.com' and ftp returned the error 'Blah blah blah.)

* What what output do you get when your run the '/sbin/route' command?
