I'm more or less a beginner with Linux but have installed Debian Squeeze on another PC successfully; on this one, networking shows "Disconnected" after every boot (logging on as a standard user, not 'root') and I can only get the built-in Ethernet card to connect by disabling wired networking and then re- enabling. As I want to use the machine as a server, this is pretty useless to me - the intention is to use it without a monitor in the long-term, which means it won't work at all as things are.
The PC is connected to my router via a CAT5 cable and a Netgear Powerline adaptor (the same as the older Dell PC that connected at boot without any problems). The puzzling bit is that the network obviously worked during installation (booting from a Debian Squeeze setup CD), as various bits of extra software were downloaded. Any thoughts on how I can get the machine to connect to the network automatically on boot? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
