means it's working? Maybe you've just overseen that eth0 is activated with 192.168.1.2??? I think you should read the ips more carefully while installing debian ;-) use ifconfig to set it up corretly try ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 <Broadcast if necessary> up If you still can't ping or connect, then you may also have a false gateway, e.g. 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.0.1 HTH, Simmel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
