I have just completed the Qmailrocks install on a Debian box without any problems till now I have set /etc/network/interfaces as follows

# Primary network interface STATIC!!
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.101
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 205.152.175.254 205.152.0.5


I am able logon to my network, surf the web etc. When I change address to my actual static IP I get a "network unreachable" error. I have made sure that qmail box is set to the DMZ in my router.
I have also checked telnet 110, 25 and 143 with no problems. I am fairly certain it is a network problem.

Any ideas?
