Maybe I should qualify my previous statements. After boot, ifconfig indeed, shows that ETH0 is UP, however it does not get an IP address from the DHCP server. I have not yet tried it with a static IP address. In order for me to do any network communication, I must su to root and execute an 'ifup eth0' in order for it to get an ip address.
This is definately not a huge issue, especially since this is a play machine for me, but it is annoying nonetheles. As for my replyto: address, what should it be set for? It is currently set to be this e-mail address and that's the way I usually set it on my mail accounts...
