It applied cleanly with some line offsets, but didn't fix my problem.  :-(

Defining the netmask didn't help either.  Since it works the first time, 
including bootp with a full tftp load (lots of packets), it implies the 
network is fine but someone is shutting down the network (improperly?) 
after the ping/tftp/bootp command completes and not starting it up again 
on the next network command.
