Sorry, forget to get round to responding for a while.
Okay, this is pretty much what I did, except I only added 192.168.1.1
(which is the router and does DNS).  The .2 and .4 IPs were in a backup
file I'd tried but didn't work so I left them out.  I was just a little
perplexed that it had worked previously and suddenly needed to be
configured by hand.

Anyway, thanks for the response.
