This should be a simple one - where/how does a roach1 store its network
settings?  I need to change a static IP address.  Editing
/etc/network/interfaces and rebooting does not seem to do the trick,
instead I had to use:
ifconfig eth0 xxx.xx.xx.xx netmask 255.255.248.0

A bigger problem is getting a working DNS nameserver.  I have one roach
that has no problem resolving any name I give it while another can only
access other machines using numerical IPs (or if you add them to the
/etc/hosts file).  Editing /etc/resolv.conf makes no difference and in any
case that file is the same in both roaches.

Thanks
