You can try to connect via dhcp by running 'dhclient' as root. That might give some clues. If it works just revert your config. Sometimes the 'allow-hotplug' directive doesn't work correctly, you can try 'auto' instead. > If I want to another linux box connect to the Debian box using ssh, > should I install and start sshd in the debian box?

AFAIK ssh depends on openssh-client and openssh-server so you should be fine. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
