Hi
I have already posted this once but somehow managed to post into another
thread so it probably got lost.
Have just installed Etch with Netinstall. No problem. However Epiphany,
Iceweasel and Apt all report that "network is unreachable" or "unable to
connect to network". Network Setting shows quite clearly that eth0
is 'active'. Ping is positive. What am I missing? I have a wired
connection to an adsl router. My laptop running Xubuntu works perfectly
on the same connection. (not at the same time!)
Thanks to Roberto I have tried /sbin/ifconfig and /sbin/route -n with the
following results
pete@desktop:~$ /sbin/ifconfig

Since my first posting I have now installed Xubuntu on a separate partition on
this machine and it works perfectly.
Any help or comments welcome please.
