Hi Tim,
It seems to be a DHCP issue, I have just edited
/etc/networks/interfaces (via live CD) to have static IP and I am up
and running on this PC (Debian Mint).
Is it possible they had a long uptime before the power-cut and so this
problem had been sitting there for a while, waiting to bite?
Cheers, Ralph.
Possibly but the router was also affected by the power cut so leases
would of been reset and I cleared all the dhcp lease in the router as
well
I am just about to put the replacement PC (in place of the debian PC)
into its place and then remove the old hard disk and pull all the info
off of it on to the new PC.
I will investigate the DHCP issues when the immediate problems have
calmed down

Well now I am confused, having got the wife replacement PC up and
running I just had a look at my PC (Debian mint) and found that despite
the fact that I manually edited /etc/network/interfaces (eth0) to have a
static IP upon rebooting the PC has made a new interface and assigned it
eth1 and is set to dhcp!! I checked ifconfig and the dhcp leases on the
router.
Not sure what is going on now
