I've managed to F-up my IP configuration.

I had internet connectivity when I first set up this Xbox.
Since then I've set a static IP via the Webmin. All was well for months. Then today I realized I have no internet connectivity on this box.
So I went back to the Webmin to revert back to the default DHCP. But what I did was hit "delete" when I was editing the eth01 properties.
Now my box isn't getting an IP.
I've looked into the etc/hosts file, and the loopback line is there, then there's a blank area, then "Xbox". I've put the static IP in front of "Xbox", restarted the thing, and when I go back to check the hosts file again, it's reverted back to where it was prior to me editing it.
I'm sure this is a simple fix. But I'm stumped, and pissed (at myself).
I don't think I could live without my server up and running....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
