Hi,

Do you need help?

Yes I meant /etc/network/interfaces

I connect the machine to the internet through a gateway. The router is = set
at 192.168.1.1 as usual.

I tried ping debian.org and it doesn=92t return results. The device that has the error is an onboard network device, eth0. My motherboard is ASUS.

However, I plugged another network device, eth1 and the put the same settings then it worked fine.=20

I believe it's a compatibility error at debian etch and my motherboard. Since I had installed debian stable in the past and I didn't have any problems with the onboard network device

Jeff
About the /etc/init.d/networking restart. Without reboot the machine... I realized it doesn=92t work, it worked only when I first use stop and = then
start
/etc/init.d/networking stop
/etc/init.d/networking start=20

That happens also with postgres.

Sorry for my delay,
iuri

Do you need more help?

Hi iuri

That depends. How are you connecting to the internet? You've told the system that you only have one network interface card (but then why is it eth1?) and that to get to the internet it should default route to the gateway at 192.168.1.1.

What exactly do you mean that you loose the internet connection? Is it a connectivity thing or that the name doesn't resolve? Give us the exact error message you get when you enter: ping debian.org

Doug.

It occured to me, though, that this might be *fetchmail* trying to=20 use TLS but being rebuffed by my ISP. Hmmmm.

Well, that was a long few days. I've finally uploaded a version of aptitude that works with the new apt to unstable. There are a few bugs I haven't been able to reproduce, but it should be better than the broken NMU that's sitting there now. Daniel

Ken, It was the LocalSettings.php that caused me the problem, I didn't realise that I had to run the install first in order to creat the file. Every thing is now clear.

Since no one has commented I presume this is one of those strange things that just happen from time to time. Anyway, I made a fresh installation of Lenny and then upgraded to Sid. The wireless card continued to work and so did the keyboard, so both problems have gone away though I don't know why. -- Anthony Campbell - ac@acampbell.org.uk Microsoft-free zone - Using Linux Gnu-Debian http://www.acampbell.org.uk (blog, book reviews, on-line books and sceptical articles)

It's interesting to note that I tried TortoiseSVN which runs on Windows and worked without a breeze. This leads me to think that the web server (which I dodn't control) does accept svn requests. The company network is run by Windows. -- my place on the web: floss-and-misc.blogspot.com End of debian-user-digest Digest V2007 Issue #1890 ************************************************** Received on Wed Jul 4 04:48:11 2007
