I have just installed debian Etch 4.0r5 on a Dell pc on its own hard

home network. I have incorrectly set up the network info during the
debian install. I have modified the /etc/route.conf and the
/etc/resolv.conf files with what I believe is correct routing info. I
am not sure of the /etc/hosts file. I need to break this problem down
into little pieces to avoid major frustration. Any help would be
appreciated.
Not a whole lot of specifics in your email,
Is resolvconf installed? If not, it should be.
What does your /etc/network/interfaces file look like? For example,
here's mine:
### BEGIN ###
$ grep -v \# /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.251
dns-nameservers 68.105.28.12 68.105.29.12
dns-search homelan
auto eth0
