Can the other machines in your LAN ping 10.0.0.6 ?
A few days ago, upon routine (daily) upgrading with Synaptic, I
discovered that network-manager (which previously was not working
correctly on this machine) was obtaining a DHCP address from my
firewall/router (SmoothWall), and was not using my specified static
address (192.168.1.13).
After removing network-manager, I discovered that the ethernet
interface on the motherboard was being used, whereas heretofore I had
been using a PCI ethernet card. (When I first got the machine, Debian
did not have a driver for the interface on the motherboard; the
easiest solution was to plug in an ethernet card.) So I removed the
ethernet card, and expected that the interface on the motherboard
would be eth0. However, it did not respond to eth0 or to eth1 -- but
by experimenting, I found that it works if I call it eth2.
