If nothing, probably your Ethernet card is not being detected. A module for your card should be found in /etc/modules. If it's not and you don't know the name of the module, try this: dpkg-reconfigure etherconf That assumes you have etherconf installed (very likely). If not, then: apt-get install etherconf Also check to make sure /etc/init.d/networking is installed with correct permissions (it starts networking, and should be there unless it somehow got accidentally deleted): ls -l /etc/init.d/networking -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2633 Jan 27 08:16 /etc/init.d/networking cheers, Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
