some really basic networking questions

[Matthew Carpenter]

Obviously you've patched the eD box...  eD and eS both suffered from a bug
which didn't update /etc/hosts.  Douglas Hunley kindly wrote a patch for
it.  Perhaps you have installed dhclient, which I believe works well
(original eD ran dhcpcd, IIRC).
