I am installed in Virtual PC 7 on an iBook G4 connected to a DHCP 
network.

On all VPC Linux OS's DNS does not work.  resolv.conf needs to be 
manually edited.  I use 4.2.2.2
DHCP does not work.  Ping gets a:

connect: Network is unreachable


The graphical installer on lightgui both .5-pre4 and .4 will not save 
static setting.  After clicking apply the network still does not work.  
If it is closed it later shows up as DHCP again.  I edited 
/etc/network/interfaces to:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.2.3
	network 192.268.2.0
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	broadcast 192.168.0.255
	gateway 192.168.2.1

It now tries to ping but fails.

I also tried deleting the broadcast and gateway lines, same result.

Forcing DHCP:

  iface eth0 inet dhcp


Produces the same result.
