TCP/IP on PC running SCO Unix

Hello,
I've just installed the TCP/IP networking software on a
Compaq 486/33 PC machine running SCO Unix.
After setting up the ethernet card (thin ethernet) interface,
I added what I believe to be the appropriate "ifconfig..."
statement to my /etc/tcp (effectively the /etc/rc.local)
file. Also, since I'm on a subnetted network, I added
a "route add default..." gateway line (I administer a
DECstation running Ultrix on the same network, so I basically
modelled these commands from this machine).
Now, I can do a successful "ping localhost" command, which
tells me (as the manual suggests) that my interface is ok
(more or less the hardware is talking to the software via
the driver /etc/wdn0). But I can not ping anything else
(I have a /etc/hosts file set up).
Can someone offer some suggestions on why I can't seem to
talk to the network? Perhaps some file somewhere has a
crucial line commented out?
Otherwise, if this is the wrong newsgroup, please suggest a
more appropriate one.
Please send all replies to andrewd at cs.tamu.edu
Thanks in advance,
Andrew.
