OK, so I used ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x mask 255.255.255.0 and that worked and I
can ping devices on the network but I have no name resolution?
/etc/resolv.conf has the nameserver configured?? What have I broken that
nothing seems to be reading any of the network configuration files in /etc
and /etc/network??
Thanks again!!
