Is that ../init.d/bind9 meant to be in all of the rc#.d directories?

I have tried changing the resolv.conf file but nothing seemed to work. bind 
is active on the /etc/host.conf file.

Also, under Applications > System Tools > Networking > Connections > 
Ethernet LAN card eth0 properties am I meant to choose Manual, 
Automatic(DHCP) or Automatic(BOOTP) and is the Activate when the computer 
starts meant to be checked.

How do I change the broadcast and mask profile in ifconfig file?

Thanks.
