[Gllug] Hosed network

[Sanatan Rai]

Hi all,
    Yesterday I managed to hose networking on my machine.
This resulted when I removed dhcdbd trying to follow the
instructions to convert to dependency boot.

    At this point I've managed to reinstall dhcdbd, dhcp-client
from the Lenny install disc.

    I have eth0 up:

fractal:/home/sanat# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:d3:ba:98:43
          inet addr:192.168.2.3  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::213:d3ff:feba:9843/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:4147937 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3074512 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:780041154 (743.9 MiB)  TX bytes:344276054 (328.3 MiB)
          Interrupt:18 Base address:0xd300

I can see all the machines on my home network, in fact the above dump
was produced by SSH'ing into the machine.

I can't see the outside world. So can't ping the outside world from
this machine. The routes seem hosed:

fractal:/home/sanat# netstat -nr
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
192.168.2.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0

fractal:/home/sanat# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0


What should I do to fix this?

Any help would be much apprecitated!
