Having a problem with the internet using Ethernet. When I check out status of the ethernet interface using ifconfig and ifconfig eth1 it shows the interface has an ip... submask.. default gateway.. the whole works. I can ping another computer. Now when I try to ping a website such as google or cnn it says unknown host. I'm guessing the problem relates to the host.conf file but not sure how to correct.

Not sure if host.conf is the culprit there, can you post /etc/resolv.conf instead

markus@fujibox:~$ cat /etc/host.conf
order hosts,bind
multi on

markus@fujibox:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
search dsl.inet.fi
nameserver 195.165.1.6
nameserver 10.16.11.16

markus@fujibox:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
