[openbeosnetteam] Eureka!!! (was [MAKE BUG] Make installetc still crashes)

That did it Bruno, you're a genius!  I kept looking at that line in the 
Makefile and I couldn't imagine why it was dying.  I wasn't looking at the 
whole path.

See success below.  Several interesting things.  

First, I can ping local machines, but not myself (insert "didn't your 
parents tell you about pinging yourself" jokes here).  Once I add a 
gateway, I can ping remote machines.  

Second, at one point, "route show" worked and then it just stopped working. 
 I would get the headers that it prints, but no data and it would just sit 
there until I killed it.  It didn't have an affect on anything else, so 
that's good.

Third, pinging is really slow!  You can see below that a local ping is 
about 60ms.  When I boot to netserver, it drops to 0.6ms.   I know we 
haven't done any optimizations or anything, but I just wanted to point it 
out in case nobody else noticed it.

Fourth, does the "netmask" option work in ifconfig?  I tried it and it 
didn't give me an error, but it didn't change it either.  I tried 
"./ifconfig tulip0 inet 65.205.112.85 netmask 255.255.255.240" and 
"./ifconfig tulip0 inet 65.205.112.85 netmask 0xfffffff0".  Both were 
accepted, but neither changed the mask in "ifconfig -a".
