[mdlug] New Debian Install

[Stan Green]

Matt,

I had the same issue, but only on an AT&T DSL. It looks like the new Debian
(even Lenny is acting strange) does not work well with DCHP on AT&T
networks. I switched to static IP and DNS names and the system was fine. I
then move the system to another non-AT&T network, switched back to DHCP and
all was fine.

Subject: [mdlug] New Debian Install

Here is a stumper.  I just completed a brand new installation of Debian,
during installation it could not reach the repositories so only a base
installation was completed.

I am logged directly into the machine not via ssh.  Network appears to have
configured correctly via dhcp.

ifconfig says I have the correct network address route -n shows the correct
gateway resolv.conf shows the correct DNS servers

from another machine on the network I can ping the gateway and
www.google.com from the new install attempting to ping the gateway
destination host unreachable and for Google it says unknown host

I can ssh into the machine via its IP address and I can ssh into other
machines on the network via their IP address

I am stumped any help would be appreciated.
