Hi, all: I'm not sure how I broke networking, but when I boot up, my ethernet card is recognised, but it has no IP address and the box is not known to my other lan boxes. Doing
#ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.11 corrects the problem, but now the external network is unavailable. Doing #route add default gw 192.168.1.1 fixes that problem. Where are the configuration files to automate all this? It used to work, but I have recently been messing with the box - I updated everything updatable with aptitude, I've recompiled the kernel a few times, I finally got sound and my cd drive and a USB scanner working, but somewhere along the line I broke networking!
