After poking around a little more based on some ideas that came to me as a result of your e-mail, I realized that the only thing broken (that I've noticed so far) was the dhcp-client. It appears to be that it didn't get upgraded with the Sid update. For some reason, dhcp is working with the 2.2 kernel but not with the 2.4 kernel. There is a newer version of dhcp-client on the debian server, but apt-get gives me errors when I try to install it (for some reason it conflicts with Mozilla - go figure).
I'll poke around some more with apt-get options and get it working.
Thanks again.

Hello all,
Forgive me. I'm sure this has happened to others, but I can't find it in the archives. I am trying to get more familiar with the inner workings of Linux, and this has been a real learning experience.
I recently installed Woody from CD. I accidentally used the default 2.2.20 kernel at the install. I then upgraded to Sid through apt-get. Yesterday I downloaded kernel 2.4.25 and rebuilt using make-kpkg. I
Did you run: $> make oldconfig
before compiling the new kernel?
added support for USB and my systems sound card, etc. I believe I have a good kernel configuration, and the log files support that. OTOH, it's broken, and nothing else has changed.
Now, networking is broken at boot time when I boot with the 2.4.25 kernel. I have a local gateway for the 4 machines at home. It's at 192.168.1.1
Are you running iptables?
If I do:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.20 up
the network device comes up, and I can ping machines on my local
Can your local machines ping your gateway computer? What are the permissions of your /etc/resolv.conf ?
Have /etc/network/interfaces changes in any way?
Do you have a valid /etc/hosts?
What does $> route -n on your gateway machine show?
