Copy/paste what does your "/etc/network/interfaces" look like
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
address 192.168.1.40 # I have manually specified this

The above looks okay.
and also
post the results of "/sbin/ifconfig",

Here there's a problem. Your IP address does not match with the one you
defined in the "interfaces" file.
Let's see... on a running system, once you edit the "/etc/network/
interfaces" file you also have to:
1/ Restart the network service: /etc/init.d/networking restart
2/ Up the network interface: ifup eth0
3/ Check that all is fine: /sbin/ifconfig
(this is not needed after you restart the machine)
Try it and send the results. The rest of the files look normal so let's
focus on this.
Here are the results of those three commands:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo: unable to resolve host valhalla
Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not
enable again some interfaces ... (warning).
Reconfiguring network interfaces...Stopping the Firestarter firewall....
Starting the Firestarter firewall....
done.
$ sudo ifup eth0
sudo: unable to resolve host valhalla

$ /sbin/ifconfig

The IP address is now consistent.
Now is this likely to hold when I reboot so that I can access the Net?
Also, after running the above 3 commands, review the syslog ("grep -i
eth0 /var/log/syslog")
I did, and here is the output (I trimmed it to the last lines consistent
with the current time):
May 7 16:43:13 valhalla NetworkManager[1550]: <info> (eth0): carrier
now OFF (device state 1)
May 7 16:43:13 valhalla dhclient: receive_packet failed on eth0:

Thanks (as always!)
