I need specifics, people. I am very new to Linux, and this is the first install I have ever done. (actually it's the second on this HP Pavillion 5150 P133 with 40 MB of ram, and no secondary CPU cache)ifconfig:

What's this tap0 thing and why does it have the same IP address as eth0? I would try disabling it and then try again.
I work at a school that has Redhat and samba on the server, and we are going to put Debian on it (since Redhat is no longer supported)
