I knew you'd pick up on that Jonathan :) I know it's bad. It's a dev machine 
I am using to learn PHP and behind a firewall with no global IP.

I figure the worst that can happen is that as root I'll toast the machine. 
Which would just let have more experience at installing Linux ;)

It is a "retail" site. Helping out the owner who keeps wondering why is site 
suddenly is innaccesible for no reason once in a while. His hosting service 
isn't very friendly or competent it seems. But then again they are very 
cheap.

Which hat did you pull those numbers out of? (I know it's the white one but 
...) are they gol's nameservers?

I use DHCP. How can I find out what the DHCP server is telling me to use?

I just pull one LAN cable out and plug the other one in and then do 
/etc/init.d/network restart
