Thanks for the help on this. This is what my /etc/network/interface looks like now auto lo eth0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp When I did the auto eth0 on the same line I got the error unable to configure auto=auto. When I did it in a seperate line it would not configure. Anyway it now works at my office, just need to check it at home, but it should work there also. Thanks again. Don
