Hi,
After upgrading from Debian 1.1 to 1.2 I lost my network connection.
I must confess it was not a clean upgrade in the sense that i had to
dpkg -i and dpkg -r a few times netbase (now 2.0.9-1)and netstd (now
2.12-1).
I thought I just upgraded witohout modifying the configuration files
but I may (must) be wrong. Here the simptopms
1) At boot time and after the message:
"starting /usr/sbin/sendmail"
the machine seems like sleeping for 2-3 minutes. Something similar
when halting/rebooting it. I guess that It cannot resolve IP
addresses, since when I try:
# telnet localhost
localhost: Host name lookup failure
#
2) My /etc.hostname, /etc/init.d/networks, hosts.allows and hosts.deny
seem to be ok (as before when everything worked).
I think my /etc/hosts.conf is also correct:
---
order hosts, bind
multin on
---
3) I also noticed that , for example when "telnet localhost" I get some
errors:
eth0 transmit timed out, status 0073, resetting.
ring data dump: dirty_tx 0 cur_tx 16 (full) cur_rx 0.
....
Can be this message be related to the name resolution described above?

The output below might be useful for you to help me:

What else should I check to fix my network connection?
Thanks for any help/pointer.
