The Ralink driver is already the newest. (Hasn't been updated since sometime in 2004) /etc/network/interfaces --> ........................................................................................... ########## The loopback network interface ### auto lo iface lo inet loopback ########### The primary network interface ### #iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0 inet static address 220.42.128.76 netmask 255.255.252.0 gateway 220.42.131.254 ########### The wireless network interface ### iface ra0 inet dhcp wireless-essid YahooBB auto ra0 ........................................................................................... NOTE - Until recently I had only the "dhcp" line in the above. I rebooted into windows, did an ipconfig and then entered that exact information in (above) as static ip information. (Yeah, I know the netmask is non-standard and the gateway is 131 instead of 128 ... but that is what the working configuation under windows displayed.) Also, I added the line "auto eth0" to the above, but after a restart it has disappeared. > Do you use a router or just a DSL modem? It is a DSL modem with both wireless and ethernet.

I have tried: ifconfig eth0 up /etc/init.d/networking restart I have tried to activate / deactivate either of the eth0 or ra0 interfaces via the GUI. I have rebooted a few times as well. Nothing has had any effect other than sometimes turning OFF the wireless.
