eth0 problem after installing netscape

[Dale Morris <dlm@well.com>]

I just did a dist-upgrade and installed netscape 4.76. Now it seems my
eth0 connection (cable modem) won't stay active. I am unable to connect
to anything and then when I switch to init 1 and back [ctrl-d] then I
have a connection that works. 

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm wondering if it's something from
the upgrade or a net work problem. It seems to work for a short time,
then dies.

this time the connection died in about 4 minutes. here's the result
dlm@lymond:~$ ping www.lvcm.com
ping: unknown host www.lvcm.com

Any easy way to fix this?

thanks
