The first question that springs to my mind was:   *Exactly* what
fiddling did you do to get the network started?

Without that information, we could only guess at what went wrong,
initially.  Then why you had the second problem.

Is the resolv.conf file owned by the right owner, does it have the right
permissions.

Is your computer network settings supposed to be configured by a DHCP
server?  Have you manually set things?
