Ditto here.  Never touched the 'interfaces' file and it's commented out.  I'm
using network manager (or whatever that gnome thingy is called). It all "just
worked."

But I only have a wired, eth0 connection, and no wireless.  You have wired and
wireless up and going at the same time? How does that work?  Or doesn't it? Or
the wired didn't work, so you connected yourself up wirelessly?  Wouldn't it be
interesting to see your /etc/network/interfaces file?  Here's mine (working,
wired):

curty@einstein:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
#NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp



Apologies for the delay in replying to all the posts sent in response to my original query.

I would like to thank everyone for their input.

Turns out, the 'physical ports' option in my modem's settings somehow got unselected, along with some of the other settings being different to how I'd set them initially based on the settings I'd got from my ISP.

I've also updated the firmware for my ADSL modem + Wifi router, TP-LINK TD-W8101G, just in case.
