O.k. so your old desktop is not getting any IP ("127.0.0.1" is the loopback address). You have to manually setup one for it. If you need further assintance for configuring your ethernet card on your old desktop, just ask (also, tell us what operating system is running) :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
