New system networking not working

I recently set up a machine whichis running Slackware 14.2 todual boot into Slackware 15.0. Networking doesn't work on the new version, although it works fine on the old system. Specifically what doesn't work is ping and HTTP/HTTPS. I set it up with netconfig, which generally "just works".
Here's the output of /sbin/route:
Code:Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
loopback 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
localnet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0...and /sbin/ifconfig:
Code:eth0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 29 bytes 2040 (1.9 KiB)
