Hmmm ... apparently not:
sudo ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:11601 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:1234607 (1.1 MiB) TX bytes:1234607 (1.1 MiB)
How do I turn this on, and ensure that it stays on at boot up?
Also, is this likely to have had an impact on my ability to print via CUPS?
Cheers
AG
PS: I connect via ADSL
