I would try commenting out the eth0 entry in your /etc/network/interfaces. Here's mine with the relevant lines marked, incase it helps: # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation auto eth0 <-- iface eth0 inet static <-- address 192.168.2.4 <-- netmask 255.255.255.0 <-- broadcast 192.168.2.255 <-- gateway 192.168.2.1 <-- network 192.168.254.0 <-- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
