Hi, Yes I meant /etc/network/interfaces
I connect the machine to the internet through a gateway. The router is set at 192.168.1.1 as usual. I tried ping debian.org and it doesn’t return results. The device that has the error is an onboard network device, eth0. My motherboard is ASUS. However, I plugged another network device, eth1 and the put the same settings then it worked fine. I believe it's a compatibility error at debian etch and my motherboard. Since I had installed debian stable in the past and I didn't have any problems with the onboard network device Jeff About the /etc/init.d/networking restart. Without reboot the machine... I realized it doesn’t work, it worked only when I first use stop and then start /etc/init.d/networking stop /etc/init.d/networking start That happens also with postgres.

How are you connecting to the internet? You've told the system that you only have one network interface card (but then why is it eth1?) and that to get to the internet it should default route to the gateway at 192.168.1.1. What exactly do you mean that you loose the internet connection? Is it a connectivity thing or that the name doesn't resolve? Give us the exact error message you get when you enter: ping debian.org Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
