Okay, with the /etc/network/interfaces file looking like this: auto lo eth0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1
And my resolv.conf looking like this:(/etc/resolv.conf didn't exist I had to create it) nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 68.116.216.6 Nothing works at first, and I occasionally get the error message with ifup: /etc/network/interfaces:14: duplicate option couldn't read interfaces file: "/etc/network/interfaces" I can't ping anything at all, until I type: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 Then I can ping anything on my personal network, but nothing outside of it. By IP or name...

Can you be more precise? Can you ping other computers on your subnet? Can you ping internet hosts by IP (numerically, try 204.152.189.116 for example)? > If so, where?
