[plug] Debian Networking Question

[skribe]

Hi folks:

I'm having some trouble with a debian 3.0r2 machine I'm setting up.  It's on 
a network of XPs with an XP server connected to the net via dial-up (yes, I 
know I have it around the wrong way -- the deb machine will be replacing the 
existing server once it's configured and secured).  The problem I'm having is 
that I can ping the network machines but I can't reach beyond the server to 
the big wide world.  I thought it was a routing problem but the routing looks 
right.  Then I noticed that the XP network is running off dhcp.  I was told 
by the XP tech it wasn't and that I should just set everything manually.  How 
do I reset the networking to dhcp after having manually set it during the 
install?  I'm new to debian and it's been a long time since I had to 
comfigure a network so be gentle.
