dhcp-client

[Mike Pfleger <pfleger@pfleger-precision.com>]

Hello.

I've upgraded two partitions from Debian potato (well, Storm, actually) to
testing, and have installed dhcp-client for net access through my firewall.
I can ping my firewall, and verify the eth0 to firewall traffic via the LEDs
on my switch.  I can't however, reach anything past the firewall.  No net
activity on the gkrellm LEDs, or the LEDs in the switch during pings to any
outside IP addresses, ping just reports the network as unreachable.

I'm sending this email from the same machine, via another install.  This
installation is on a second removable HDD.  Thus, the hardware and firewall
can be ruled out at culprits, as can Shaw.  I seem to remember getting a
prompt for configuring netbase, where I had to enter a "local" IP address
range, with the default being:
  127.0.0.0/8
In a fit of brilliance, I entered:
  192.168.1.0/24
And I strongly suspect that had something to do with my current grief.

So... the questions for all you networking gods/goddesses are:
- What file(s) should I be considering as culprits for the lack of 
connectivity?
- Does anyone know, offhand, where the above IP address range values have
been stored?
- What is the recommended course of action?

I'm trying to move away from pump, which I am using on this install.

Thanks in advance,
