Kent, The changes you suggested to /etc/network/interfaces are definitely not working. With the file configured that way, "/etc/init.d/networking start" returns "operation failed". So does "ifup eth0". I should also mention that I had never made changes to the loopback portion of the file -- I was only quoting the portions of the file I *had* modified, so as not to try everybody's patience more than I have already. ifconfig shows lo running properly. Frankly, I am back to wondering if the kernel can deal with DHCP. I have the idea I might have seen something in my researches that suggested it might not. Is that possible? I think it's the 2.2 kernel. Does that sound right for potato? And can it do DHCP?
