$ grep -v '^\#' /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
Should I then do
sudo ifdown eth0
sudo ifup etho0
Hmm.  That doesn't work:
$ sudo ifdown eth0
ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
I haven't done anything in particular to configure my
installation of Squeeze for the local network; just accepted 
the defaults.
