Short answer:
# likely only one of these is installed, find out which:
$ apt-get remove xdm kdm gdm wdm

Um...more data needed.
If you can get ahold of a copy of the "Linux Network Administrator's
Guide" (aka the NAG), it has some really good (if sometimes dated)
step-by-step directions and explanations of networking issues. Cable
largely post-dates it though. O'Reilly publishes a newer version,
there's an older one available as a Debian package 'ldp-nag'.
Peace.
