I'm very sorry about the subject line.  It should have read:

"baselayout-1.12.* and "Network is unreachable"

  I don't see the original, so I'm replying to this message.  My
(somewhat non-standard) setup has the following lines...

config_eth0="192.168.123.252 broadcast 192.168.123.255 netmask 255.255.255.248 mtu 1454"
routes_eth0=("default via 192.168.123.254")

  I think that you should specify netmask and the broadcast address in
"config_eth0".  First, we need to know...
  - what IP address range is allocated to the machines behind the router?
  - what IP address does the router display to the machines behind it
    (presumably on eth1)?

  I've dealt with a multi-port router sitting behind a single-port ADSL
modem, and I'm aware that you have to take care that they don't step on
each other's address ranges.

Thank you very much.  That fixed it, I needed to specify the netmask.
