Looks reasonably OK. What happens if you do an ifup eth0? Do you get any messages in dmesg (dmesg | more will work to show you the latest contents of dmesg). Reboot - does the ethernet come up / do you get error messages? If you know that you will always use eth0, you can change the allow-hotplug eth0 to auto eth0 Base system should be enough - it's enough to allow you to get updates from the internet, for example. Do you have any other machines on your internal network? Can you ping those or other machines? If you can, please post any results / error messages. Also, you don't say what country you're in : it may be that support resources are available closer to hand :) All the best, AndyC > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. > https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
