1. Disable NM with update-rc.d network-manager disable You can enable it later by replacing "disable" with "enable". Note, you will temporarily lose any capability for wireless connectivity, 2. In /etc/network/interfaces have only the loopback interface (lo) plus allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp 3. Now do ifdown -v eth0 followed by (noting any screen output) ifup -v eth0 Or reboot. Or both. This should give you a reasonable idea whether the machine communicates with the router. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
