You have some syntax errors in the above.

defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"                             <-- small "d"
ifconfig_ep0="inet 192.168.1.7 netmask 255.255.255.0"   <-- no '='

After rebooting, login as root and do
   ifconfig -a
   netstat -rn

to confirm your settings. Post the output of those two commands to the list
if it still isn't working.

Cheers,

Brian.
