I ifdowned eth0 and then brought it up manually as Miguel suggested (thanks for the reply, M). There was then no route out of the box (as expected, I guess), so I manually added the route with 'sudo /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.0.1'. At this point, things started working again. Yay! The previous behavior, where /sbin/route would only report the default route after a 30-second delay, seems indicative of a problem, since it's not doing that now. I still could use some advice trouble-shooting this, since something in the automatic network setup seems broken. Is there something I should dpkg-reconfigure, or would that not be helpful? After enjoying the internet for a bit, I will reboot the box to see if things are still broken. -Kevin Murphy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
