(ie. enable internet access)?
Thanks, Bob, for the detailed explanation and tips.

Sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean by "That assumes you have
that hardware" ? I have the network card installed in my machine.
> Better to use "allow-hotplug" there instead of "auto".
Do you mean:
allow-hotplug eth0
> There isn't a "dhcpcd" command in Debian. You must be using a
different system with the above notes.
The above command is copied from the following guide:
http://debianletters.blogspot.com/2008/01/howto-simply-configure-network-card-in.html
You have me confused. Either you are right or the writer of the said
guide is wrong.
> On Debian that would be "isc-dhcp-client".
The writer of the guide states that it (the guide) is for Debian users.
And you're telling me he's wrong.
I'm really confused.
I think I need a second opinion.
