Huh? You put "192.168.0.1-192.168.255.255 hollow" in your /etc/hosts file?
That is totally incorrect. It has to be a single IP value and the value
assigned to you by your ISP. If you are connecting by DHCP, then read the
HOW-TO on using DHCP connections.

That is bull crap. You can use X no matter what your IP address is.
Try booting single user and then editing and fixing your hosts file, putting
in the number assigned by your ISP.
