Hi I have already posted this once but somehow managed to post into another thread so it probably got lost.
Have just installed Etch with Netinstall. No problem. However Epiphany, Iceweasel and Apt all report that "network is unreachable" or "unable to connect to network". Network Setting shows quite clearly that eth0 is 'active'. Ping is positive. What am I missing? I have a wired connection to an adsl router. My laptop running Xubuntu works perfectly on the same connection. (not at the same time!) Thanks to Roberto I have tried /sbin/ifconfig and /sbin/route -n with the following results [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:18:A9:C4:3B inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::230:18ff:fea9:c43b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:30 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1890 (1.8 KiB) TX bytes:4453 (4.3 KiB) Interrupt:177 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:560 (560.0 b) TX bytes:560 (560.0 b) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Since my first posting I have now installed Xubuntu on a separate partition on this machine and it works perfectly. Any help or comments welcome please. Regards Pete Redwood [EMAIL PROTECTED]
