Please set your mailer/editor linewrap to 68-75 characters. I strongly recommend 72 as a good default. Thank you. ...and an appropriate subject line also helps. Changed per my guess of your problem. Very likely your cable modem/gateway uses DHCP to provide internal network addresses. You'll need to install a dhcp client -- dhcp-client should work, though there are several others packaged for Debian. Peace. -- Karsten M.
