Fixing the DNS issue
From ComputingPlugs
There is a DNS issue with the default filesystem where the Sheeva Plug will not correctly grab the DNS servers from DHCP. This causes the Sheeva Plug to not be able to resolve any domain names. To fix the problem, edit the file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and comment out the line:
supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
reboot the system and the Sheeva Plug will grab the DNS servers correctly from DHCP.

Alternatively, you could easily install a local caching DNS server, such as dnsmasq: apt-get install dnsmasq

I don't have this line in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf :
# Configuration file for /sbin/dhclient, which is included in Debian's
# dhcp3-client package.
#
# This is a sample configuration file for dhclient. See dhclient.conf's
# man page for more information about the syntax of this file
# and a more comprehensive list of the parameters understood by
# dhclient.
#
# Normally, if the DHCP server provides reasonable information and does
# not leave anything out (like the domain name, for example), then
# few changes must be made to this file, if any.
#
option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;
send host-name "";
#send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;
#send dhcp-lease-time 3600;
#supersede domain-name "fugue.com home.vix.com";
#prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
dhclient.conf
Is this code is OK?
thanks

I think it should.
