The contents of "/etc/networking/interfaces" was only the lines that I 
added. There was nothing in there, or maybe I rather created a file when 
I used vi (in root). However, I didn't overwrite I file, that I am sure 
of. The result of "ls -l /sbin/ifconfig" is -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 55180 
Nov. 24 2001".

I also just rechecked at boot-up to see which kernel was loading: kernel 
2.4.18-bf24.

Cheers,

Brian

Added the two lines in /etc/network/interfaces restarted the network 
and tried again. Same result - nada - zip -zilch response. No 
response with /sbin/ifconfig either. Thanks for all your time so far. 
Is there any place that we can go from here? I did a sort of default 
full install with tasksel and dselect. Got a lot of stuff I didn't 
want, but even the stuff that I do want will not do any good if I 
don't get this @£5#+* eth0 working.

Post the contents of "/etc/networking/interfaces" for us if you would, 
please.

Also, the result of "ls -l /sbin/ifconfig".
