I think it is Paul that is having simialr problems
No this is a fresh install of debian 4.0r2. I have tried last night with a
copy of fedora 8 live cd with the same results, so have reinstalled debian.
I want to use fixed IP nos and i am having serious difficulty getting this
box running properly.
Being a new Linux user i have no idea where the problem lies. Could it be
my router settings? I have checked them several times and my other
computers all seem to connect ok. DHCP is turned off and there is nothing
else i can see that would cause problems.
So far I have spent 4 days and nights attempting to get this working with
no further progress. Would an earlier version on linux be more likely to
work for me . I'd prefer NOT to have to go back to windows.

Sorry for the rant.
What's the best place to start ?
