Network

[Bo Shangtze <s.borghuis@geog.uu.nl>]

New to Linux and a stupid problem, after a net install of the Sid distro 
of Debian in my office using my office's lan network (ssssh) I found 
that I cannot make a connection to the internet at home where I used to 
make a connection using 'pon dsl-provider' before.

Running pppoeconf finds a network card when in the dialogue a sentence 
appears that says IRQ #233 is stopped (never saw that before, don't know 
the reason). On the question if I want to use eth0 I press yes and 
pppoeconf starts to 'concentrate bla bla on access bla bla' but than 
tells me that it can not configure the network card.

What should I change in /etc/ network, interfaces, hosts, resolve.conf, 
more (?) to make my 'pon dsl-provider' work again? Maybe somebody with a 
dsl connection can post a copy of his/her network config, thanks in advance.

With best regards, Sander
