On linux, here's the output:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags ... Iface
70.137.191.254 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH ppp0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG eth0
I can ping 70.137.191.254 (this address changes each time I try it).
If I try to ping 192.168.0.0 it asks me if I want to ping broadcast,
and suggests "ping -b". I can't ping 192.168.0.1; response is
From 192.168.0.6 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
The address 192.168.0.6 is the one currently hardcoded in my KDE
"Networking" applet as the manual IP address for eth0.
