networking problems

[Deedra Waters]

iptables is set up. I have a script that will give me that. the problem I
appear to be having now is when I use redhat's netconfig it won't accept
the netmask and ip address of the gateway that I gave it.  It says that
that isn'ta  a valid ip address when in fact that information is correct.
