Thanks, for the advice. However I did notice that I do not have /etc/init.d/networks file. I have a /etc/init.d/networking file. I noticed this when I first started looking but thought that the file names might have been changed between Debian 2.1 and 2.2. Do you know, or anyone for that matter, if that is the case? Or do I have a botched installation?

Without being able to pin-point your problem from here, I offer this advice: potentially useful commands: o netstat o ifconfig potentially useful files: o /etc/init.d/networks (basically, this is where your network configuration is set): o /etc/networks o /etc/inet.d potentially useful books: o Linux Network Administrators Guide, second edition is out (O'Reilly) potentially useful words: o stick to ip addresses until you get you basic network functionality working, then add a name server on a debian box (not NT, microsoft's implementation of dns is limited and a bit unstable [go figure]); get O'Reilly's dns/bind book for name server configuration o you can bind multiple ip addresses to one nic, this can eliminate possibilities of hardware conflicts between the nics but exposes you to security issues Good luck and stick with it. It will eventually work. Krafty
