Thanks for getting back to me. I have 2 nics on the motherboard. I only have one connected to the network. eth0 is the only active nic -nothing is connected to eth1 and it is disabled in network-admin What i found strange last night is that i have to manually add these 2 lines to interfaces to make it work: broadcast 192.168.2.255 network 192.168.2.0 this is very bizarre. I furhter found lines added to my hosts file like 127.0.0.1 .(that i did not add -and rem-ed out when i initiatley installed the box. I will delete the route...but nothing is connected to the adapter. my interfaces file is: rider:~# more /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 # auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.2.22 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.2.1 broadcast 192.168.2.255 network 192.168.2.0 auto eth0 thanks again mjh
