No and yes. No I can not ping other hosts and yes I did assign it a static address, netmask, broadcast and gateway. After doing that I could ping the IP address that I assigned to it (doesn't leave the NIC) but no other hosts. > Usually when you can ping a host with its numeric ip address but not > with its name, this indicates you do not have any dns servers listed in > /etc/resolv.conf.

Many people (also off-list) pointed to kernel modules, so I kept trying untill I found one that made a difference. After loading the 8139too module, I now have the same situation as I have in knoppix. I can see the interface, I can manually assign an IP address to it, but no connection whatsoever. As a side node, the LEDs on the NIC are dead. I've once again checked the cable and it's fine. Is there a way to see what I've been apt-getting lately? I believe this could be caused by upgrading something, but I must admit that I run synaptic with my eyes closed :) I do remember a post where someone said that synaptic keeps a log. I've looked for it but I couldn't find it and the help doesn't mention it either. Bottom line, my interface is back, but it's just sitting there :( Any idea would be welcome! joost DISCLAIMER This e-mail and any attached files are confidential and may be legally privileged.
