You're right. Taking that out "worked". The man page was deceiving! :) So now I got /etc/init.d/networking to work (with the restart argument), so what steps should I take to get DHCP to assign me an IP address? I tried assigning myself an IP address by using this command I dug out of the "ifconfig" man page: ifconfig eth0 address XXX.XX.X.XXX but I was unable to wget any URLs (that I know are normally available from this office's connection). It could be a case of not having a DNS server specified. If someone knows of a man page or HOWTO on configuring network settings in Debian, I'd be appreciative.
