By the way, it should be auto eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces. "allow-hotplug" makes only sense, if the network card is removable like, e.g., a pcmcia ethernet adapter. Maybe, Scott Ferguson is right: the DHCP server "could" have just run out of leases. -- Best regards, Jörg-Volker. -- T

Thanks for the replies all. I feel the issue must have to do with how this particular ThinkPad is set up, as my other Debian laptop has no problem connecting via ethernet. And now the ethernet-challenged machine is not connecting in the evening either (well, this evening anyhow...), only the wifi c
