Give us your /etc/apt/sources.list
How do you normally configure your network? Do you use the standard
debian /etc/networking stuff or are you using some DTE network manager?
I would imagine that if your network is controlled by your DTE that it
wouldn't function if X didn't work. This is why I can only imagine
since I would never take that risk; without networking, how could I
email for help?
What error messages are you getting?
If X doesn't start, what do you get?
Since X will work on an isolated box, you don't need an external network
to run X. It may need the lo interface but since I've never run without
lo, I wouldn't know.
