Unable to resolve named addresses.

[Shaun Oliver]

Hi there,
I've managed to get my network working to a point.
When I say to a point, I mean I can ping and see the other machines on
my lan.
But, when it comes to resolving named addresses e.g. optusnet.com.au,

My /etc/network/interfaces looks kind of like this:
Auto lo eth0
Iface inet loopback
Iface eth0 inet static
Address 192.168.0.24
Broadcast 192.168.255.255
However, I think that line above is wrong.
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.1
Thanks in advance.
I get an unknown host error. How do I resolve this?
