I get rid of the bad lines on the hosts file. The broadcast IP on the
eth1 seems to be correct this time (has same first 2 numbers with the
IP, but the last 2 numbers are not).

Note that even after all these error, I can still surf the net and
response to your helps. However, the eth0 does not work, and there's
alot of these errors to be fixed, before I can run this computer as a
gate way/share point for my 2nd computer.
