Thx,

I had it to work by running dhclient as root. but I
have to do this each time I reboot my system.

My/etc/network/interfaces looks like this (it is
overwritten each time I run dhclient):

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

now, how do I make the connection available at startup
and persistant?

Thx again,

Eric
