I have tried pinging known servers like Google on both the faulty Debian
and the working Xubuntu and get identical results. /etc/resolv.conf gives
identical results on both boots. If I ping the IP name (as given on my
set-up instructions - 'phone.coop') in either Xubuntu or Debian I also
get identical results - 'Destination Net Unreachable'. [...]

I found a similar problem on a fresh etch install only yesterday.
It may not have anything to do with your problem, but I solved it
by entering as DNS my router's IP.

OK Opened up the Network Settings panel. IP address already there but added my
ISPs address to the 'Search Domains' panel. I can now access some websites.
For instance, anything Debian (www.debian.org etc) but nothing gnome
(www.gnome.org) and none of the search engines - Yahoo, Google. Wierd.
