Setting up network details...

[Irving, Dave]

Im really sorry - it now seems to be working. I ** can ** now ping external
addresses.
I do have one other stupid question though: I'd really like to do one of two
things:

Either 
1) Name my box so that it can be seen by name on the local network. Is this
possible whilst still using DHCP...?
If its not:
2) How do I go about finding a free address on my LAN?

Really appreciate your help - thought I'd be stuffed doing this on a
Saturday!

Dave

Your default route appears to be set correctly to go via 158.234.64.1, so if
you can normally "see" the Internet through that router, I don't know what's
up.

You can reach the router OK presumably?

$ ping 158.234.64.1
