I've never used dhcp so I don't know how it integrates with /etc/hosts. If eth0 was setup manually, your /etc/hosts file would look something like mine: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.1 debian.planet debian If your network is planet, and this box on your network is debian, then having that show in your /etc/hosts file as 127.* will be a source of confusion or errors. You need them to point to your network. Since it is your network, can you try manually configuring it and not use dhcp to see if the problem persists?
