However any of those GUI front-ends are going to read/write from/to the "/etc/network/interfaces" file. So can you cat that file out and copy & paste the output here so we can see how both your interfaces are currently configured? It will be a lot easier to help if you can provide this info. "cat /etc/network/interfaces" Cheers, Mike > On 11/01/2010 06:23 PM, Jason Barnett wrote: > > Try to ping 74.125.19.147 this is one of google's ip addresses.
