Let's be a little systematic. Roughly, you need to test from lowest to
highest level. If something is broken at some level, don' t mess with
higher levels until you get the first problem resolved.

Curious. I expected to see both eth0 and eth1. If there is
only one then it seems either the built in or the plug in
is not recognized by the kernel. Have you tried plugging
the new ethernet card into the old computer?
I also find it curious that eth0 has non-zero RX and TX numbers.

Router installed and old machine works through it, but the new one
doesn't. The lights on the router indicate the second machine is
connected. But no internet connection on the new machine.

Open the router box.
Take out the router.
Turn off the Comcast modem.
Unplug the Comcast modem from your computer.
Plug the end into the WAN port of your new router.
Plug in the router.
Turn on the Comcast modem.
Turn on the router.
Wait 5 minutes.
Plug your old computer into one of the router por

Simple solution if this is the problem:
Clone your nic's mac address from the working machine to the new one.
Or just keep your new machine plugged in (overnight or something) and
wait for your Comcast DHCP lease to expire.
Something like that.

Do you have a router attached to your Comcast modem? If not, then your modem is
not doing DHCP and issuing an ip address (maybe). Or you have your network
setup on the Linux machine for static ip.

The manpage for nullmailer is pretty useless anyway.
Try creating the file

Most of my servers send me security reports and exception reports for
