Hi there, I've managed to get my network working to a point. When I say to a point, I mean I can ping and see the other machines on my lan. But, when it comes to resolving named addresses e.g. optusnet.com.au, My /etc/network/interfaces looks kind of like this: Auto lo eth0 Iface inet loopback Iface eth0 inet static Address 192.168.0.24 Broadcast 192.168.255.255 However, I think that line above is wrong. Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.1 Thanks in advance. I get an unknown host error. How do I resolve this?
