I can do DHCP, I would like to do that if it's the easiest. To that end I
ran dpkg-reconfigure etherconf and followed the nice blue menus for people
like me, choosing DHCP. It seemed to think it had done its job, and
after that, ifconfig gave me:

The same as me I think. My /etc/resolv.conf contains the same as its
resolv.conf (because I created the file on mine and manually entered the
information; the file wasn't there) which is:
search student.Princeton.EDU
nameserver 128.112.129.111
nameserver 128.112.129.32
nameserver 128.112.128.1
Do I need to do something with these numbers other than leave them sitting
in this file?
Thanks a lot,
Dan
