Debian networking problems :-( by MatthewDBA2005-03-16 05:20:52

      eth0 inet static? by Hessofanes 2005-03-16 15:14:27
Hmm, is your /etc/network/interfaces (re)generated when DHCP comes up? Usually, if this is the host that dials in, there should only be something like
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
and you should have installed the dhcp software (package dhcp3-client). Ifup will then take care of the details. The package resolvconf is useful to write the DNS servers to your /etc/resolv.conf, so they are available to the system, but that's at the present state purely optional. ;) Once you can ping the gateway and beyond, we can take care of that.
