Stephen, So you took that questionable entry out of /etc/resolv.conf and the entry just came back when you rebooted? This was with your Linux PC connected to your broadband modem? (Who is your provider, btw)?
What brand NIC do you have? Do you see an entry for eth0 when you cat /etc/interrupts? Have you tried configuring your network using the netconfig tool -- choosing "dynamic ip configuration?"
