Re: Problems after mixing Sarge and Etch

I upgraded the system but I'm not out of the woods yet: networking
works only partly.

I followed the instructions in the release notes:
http://www.us.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
-> aptitude update
-> aptitude upgrade
-> aptitude install initrd-tools
-> aptitude install linux-image-2.6-686
I rebooted the machine and the system came back up again
-> aptitude dist-upgrade
-> aptitude update
everything was ok so I rebooted again. System seemed to be up again.
Up to this point I was logged in directly on the machine but then I
went back to my desk and logged in remotely.

Problem: no connection to the internet.

moria:~# ping debian.org
ping: unknown host debian.org

The server has 2 NICs, 1 connected to the router, one connected to the
LAN, and both are static.
The one to the LAN is ok as I can login remotely.
They seem both to be setup correctly:
moria:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# LAN
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.113
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.3

#Internet
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.254.3
netmask 255.255.255.240
gateway 192.168.254.1

Manually calling /etc/init.d/networking restart didn't work either.

Some more things I can check?

Thanks,

Nick.
