No major changes to the system. Had hooked it up through a router, (cable 
Broadband) and then the connection was lost had to drop the router and direct 
connect. 

The /etc/hosts file is as follows:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost

/etc/resolv.config

; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search Domain
nameserver 192.168.1.254
nameserver 204.127.202.4
nameserver 216.148.227.68

Now assuming that one of these DNS is not working right how do I change them? 
By the way thanks to everyone for the awesome response! Who needs a help desk 
with all this support! :)
