Hi, I've been continuing my experimentation with backup and restore using Ubuntu server 9.04. Today I restored my system to completely different hardware to see how it coped. Went from an old Intel P4 with PATA drives and 100mbps realtek network card to an Intel quad core with sata drives, nvidia graphics card and onboard 1Gbps network card.
After restoring the only thing not going seems to be my network connection. In my /etc/network/interfaces I still have the lines: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp ifconfig only shows local lopback. I may have restored something that I shouldn't have, or missed something off? I was hoping someone could give me ideas of what to look at to locate the problem as I really haven't got my head around how linux handles things like network cards and how the drivers fit in... Thanks in advance. Regards, Bryce Stenberg.
