What does "/sbin/ifconfig" say? What's in /etc/resolv.conf? What does "ping -c 1 lists.debian.org" say? If that doesn't work, what does "ping -c 1 70.103.162.30" say? > the win2k laptop I am on now is connected to a switch which is > connected to the debian box which in turn connected to the > adsl/router which is connected to the wall. > I tried to fix it by rebooting the debian box, and noticed a line > during rebooting saying "iPV6 over iPV4 tunelling device" > failed Do you use iPV6? I suspect this just means that, like most people, you don't use it so trying to find it won't work.

I suspect you need to do a "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". Looks like X Window lost something in the upgrade. Note, if you've hand edited the X config file, read the first page of it to find out how to get dpkg-reconfigure to change it again. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
