Hello Clive!!! I'm using static.
ifconfig results: eth0 Encapsulamento do Link: Ethernet Endereço de HW 00:C0:9F:88:E6:52 inet end.: 192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Masc: 255.255.255.0 UP BROADCASTRUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Métrica: 1 RX packets: 0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:105 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 colisões:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:4410 (4.3 KiB) IRQ:19 Endereço de E/S:0x1800 lo Encapsulamento do Link: Loopback Local inet end.: 127.0.0.1 Masc: 255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACKRUNNING MTU:16436 Métrica:1 RX packets:50 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:50 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 colisões:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:4432 (4.3 KiB) TX bytes:4432 (4.3 KiB) My system is in portuguese because I'm brazilian. The line before the last line of eth0 has RX bytes:0 (0.0 b), what I think it's because the network card didn't receive any packages. When I type /etc/init.d/networking restart comes: Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter. Reconfiguring network interfaces...ifup: interface lo already configured done. aspire:~# eth0: Media Link On 100mbps full-duplex This last line hangs and I have to type CTRL+C to return to the shell.
