Hi
I have already posted this once but somehow managed to post into another
thread so it probably got lost.
Have just installed Etch with Netinstall. No problem. However Epiphany,
Iceweasel and Apt all report that "network is unreachable" or "unable to
connect to network". Network Setting shows quite clearly that eth0
is 'active'. Ping is positive. What am I missing? I have a wired
connection to an adsl router. My laptop running Xubuntu works perfectly
on the same connection. (not at the same time!)
Thanks to Roberto I have tried /sbin/ifconfig and /sbin/route -n with the
following results

Since my first posting I have now installed Xubuntu on a separate
partition on this machine and it works perfectly.
Any help or comments welcome please.

how are you getting your IP address? static? dhcp? Does your laptop and
this machine share the same ip? does name resolution work?
DHCP. Laptop has its own IP address. No idea about name resolution. Not
certain how to check it
In response to Andrew, not certain if resolv.conf is getting updated. Once
again not certain how to check. Ping was by IP address. Difficult to be
pro-active since I cannot email from the Debian partition. I have to check
everything then go back to the Xubuntu partition to email.

look in /etc/resolv.conf . It should look something like this:
search some.domain
nameserver 127.0.0.1
check to see what is on your laptop, since that one is working and edit
accordingly. It usually gets set from the dhcp server, if you have a
router that is supplying this, you might want to check that.
