OK I've reinstalled Debian 4.0r2, removed network-manager, dhcdbd, and the libnm-glib0 and libnm-util0 stuff.
I have a static IP 10.0.0.6 255.255.255.0 There are NO proxies running anywhere that i'm aware of. I have 3 other machines connected to this 4 port router all which can connect ok & have no issues I'm aware of. I can ping local machines by name & no. I still can't connect to www.google.co.uk in the epiphany web browser unless i ping the address first then it can connectm but seems to forget it shortly afterwards ? /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 10,.0.0.254 // router nameserver 195.92.195.94 // dns server listed in router nameserver 195.92.195.95 // "" " " " " nameserver 194.152.64.68 // other dns server of ISP nameserver 194.152.64.35 // " " " " " domain local.net search freeserve.co.uk search freeserve.net /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.0.0.254 auto eth0 #ip address show dev eth0 2: eth0; <BROADCAST, MULTICATS,UP1000>mtu1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:e0:ac:69:13:15 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.0.7/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::2e00:4cff:fe69:1315/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever #ip rourte show 10.0.0.6/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.6 default via 10.0.0.254 dev eth0 #aptitude update still wants to connect to ftp.debian.org (1.0.0.0)] Any other help or suggestions please. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
