I installed Etch on a stand-alone workstation which is the sole host on
a local network and has Internet access through a hardware firewall.

I have a MB ethernet chip, but am using a NIC card. Before the card was
eth0, but with installation of Etch on a new disk, it apparently changed
to eth1.

I can't mail out with rmail or Wanderlust because the host's IP address
can't be found:

In exim4/mainlog when I use rmail:

What does ifconfig show?
Tack the output here and don't trim so we see everything on one page.

To summarize what I see:
Your nic gets assigned as eth1 by the kernel. If this changes, see man
interfaces; there's a get-mac-address.sh whereby you can set up
interfaces by mac address.

interfaces configures eth1 using dhcp (the other options are ignored).
If you wish to use static, change dhcp to static. Dhcp is assigning
this interface 192.168.111.2

The routing table is routing network 192.168.111.0 to a gateway of
192.168.111.1 (I'm assuming that this is the ip of your firewall box).

Your hosts file contains your hostname at 192.168.1.1 and I think this
is the crux of the problem.

I've never used a hardware firewall (I've always been on dial-up) nor
dhcp. I don't know how to have your NIC setup with dhcp but have an
entry for that NIC in /etc/hosts. A lot of people on this list use dhcp
so hopefully someone jumps in and tells you how to use it consistantly.

Barring that, I would suggest:
fix /etc/hosts so that the 192.168.1.1 is changed to
192.168.111.2.

fix interfaces to take out the extraneouse options.

Good luck,

Doug.

This address is the default address of my hardware firewall, which is
acting as gateway for my one-host LAN.

Dunno ;-(. Years ago, when I set up the firewall, I needed to use dhcp
in the interface, and for some reason I carried the pre-firewall
addresses over. If I drop them, how do I define IP addresses on my local
LAN should I add other local hosts to it? In otherwords, how do I define
the 192.168.1.1 address for the local host if I remove these static
addresses?

Didn't . Changed to 192.168.111.2 in /etc/hosts and removed the
static addresses in /etc/network/interfaces. Messages out still generate
the error: No IP address found for host brownh@hartford-hwp.com.
Incidentally, shouldn't this be in the form of an e-mail address rather
than, say, just my domain name?

Your DHCP server will assign the correct address. If you want the box to get
the same address every time, you'll need to configure the DHCP server to
give a reserved address to this box based on this box's MAC layer (hardware)
address.

Did you then restart networking (/etc/init.d/networking restart)?

Does "ifconfig" still report the same as above?

Can you ping external devices successfully? If so, then I suspect (as you
do) that something's amiss in your mail setup rather than your networking
setup.

Shouldn't the dhcp server on the firewall box do that?

Since I've never used dhcp or a hardware firewall box, I'm out of ideas.

I do this on my LAN. Just to clarify, this isn't something you can
configure on the Debian client system; the DHCP server has to be
instructed to reserve a specific address for a specific MAC address.
How to do this will depend on the specific DHCP implementation. On my
Netgear home router, for example, there's a section somewhere (I'm not
on my home LAN now) in the web interface that allows one to set up a
table of MAC addresses associated with reserved IP addresses.
