I know it's not a question concerning laptops but I've just installed debian Sarge 3.1 in my laptop Acer Aspire 3002LCI and I'm not able to connect to any other host. When I try pinging a host I get: Destination Host Unreachable. Like my network configuration were set wrong. I just passed the IP, network mask, default gateway and DNS during the installation process. I think I can change them in /etc/network/interfaces.
Start here; what's the contents of "/etc/network/interfaces"?
Is there any service I have to start to enable the network card to work fine? I saw some services in /etc/rcS like networking and ifupdown but restarting them didn't work.
"/etc/init.d/network restart" should do the job.
Also there's a service called MTA that takes too long (about one minute) to initialize and I would like to know what is it for.
Mail Transport Agent.I believe it's trying to find a network connection, and not finding one, it takes a while to time out; try pressing Ctrl-C at this point.
