New Tiger User, but having internet connectivity problems

I recently upgraded my G4 400MHz running OS 9 to OS X Tiger but cannot connect to the internet. The onboard ethernet interface, en0, was fried due to lightning strike nearby so I use a PCI ethernet which worked fine under OS 9 installed in slot D. Mac OS X sees it as slot 4 or en1 interface. I managed to get the green ball status to show up next to it. I unchecked the en0 interface and raised en1 to the top.

What I get is "no route to host" or similar when I try to ping my router at 192.168.0.1. The IP of the MAC is 192.168.0.2. The router does all the DSL sign on stuff and provides IPs. I statically chose 192.168.0.2 in case that might have been my issue, but it wasn't.

The Network Diagnostics were of no help since it requires on board ethernet. I've tried various ifconfig and route commands without success. I figure I must be doing something wrong but can't figure out what.

Any help greatly appreciated. I'm writing this using OS 9 and would love to write a response from OS X soon.

Thanks,

Ken
 
I thought this problem might be related to my FriendlyNet PCI 696 card from Asante, so I found a driver for Jaguar, hoping it might work on Tiger, and still no go. I still got the green network status ball though.
 
I couldn't cut/paste netstat -rn, so I hope this may be enough information. I know from the listing that the route is incorrect.

default 192.168.0.1 UGSc en1
127 127.0.0.1 UCS lo0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH lo0
169.254 link#5 UCS en1
192.168.0 link#5 UC en1
192.168.0.1 link#5 UHRLW en1
192.168.0.2 127.0.0.1 UHS lo0
 
In System Preferences, when you configure the Ethernet, have you left the "Connect via PPPoE" box ticked on the PPPoE page? This used to be a common cause of failure with new users of OSX.
