That is not correct and will not work. What IP did you list for DNS in your interfaces config file? You should have something in the config file like: dns-nameservers NSip1 NSip2. Whatever your ISP provider is providing for DNS. You can find this out on their website, or by logging into your home router and looking. You can view this webpage specific to Debian for help: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Configuring_the_interface_manually You can also use $ less /usr/share/doc/resolvconf/README to understand the resolvconf program. Or $ man resolv.conf to understand this file. Kristen
