I ran memtest86 and it showed no problems.  Also, my network uses static 
ip addresses.  Once she does get booted, she has no trouble getting on 
the internet.  The output from resolv.conf and route -n look normal to me.

cheryl at corvus:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 204.127.203.135

cheryl at corvus:~$ route -n
