the sake of ruling it out, post the contents of that. Okay, here it comes: # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation # (network, broadcast and gateway are optional) iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 I compared your files with mine and could not find anything different. I also tried to use pon/poff for the connection. Same thing. Okay, I'll re-install tomorrow. Thanks a lot for your time and for trying to help! I really appreciate it. Best regards, Klaus
