Can the other machines in your LAN ping 10.0.0.6 ? A few days ago, upon routine (daily) upgrading with Synaptic, I discovered that network-manager (which previously was not working correctly on this machine) was obtaining a DHCP address from my firewall/router (SmoothWall), and was not using my specified static address (192.168.1.13). After removing network-manager, I discovered that the ethernet interface on the motherboard was being used, whereas heretofore I had been using a PCI ethernet card. (When I first got the machine, Debian did not have a driver for the interface on the motherboard; the easiest solution was to plug in an ethernet card.) So I removed the ethernet card, and expected that the interface on the motherboard would be eth0. However, it did not respond to eth0 or to eth1 -- but by experimenting, I found that it works if I call it eth2. RLH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
