ifconfig tells me that my ethernet card is on eth0. Thus, I added the lines: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp to my /etc/network interfaces file. I then rebooted, but ethernet doesn't work. I can still type "pump", and then use the ethernet. I have a feeling that I'm missing some simple step. Titus Barik ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) AIM: TBarik ICQ: 1604453
