I don't understand the need to get someone sighted, and I read the whole
thread. You mention silencing Speakup, but I'm not sure why. Why can't
you leave Speakup running, run the commands with Speakup and capture the
output to share with the list? If you're referring to content in another
thread, I don't recall that information. I'm not a paid support staff
member, I'm just another Linux user trying to help.

To paraphrase Tim, those suggestions require eyeballs. If you read the
information, it should be clear I had to get someone else to do that,
and it took some arranging.

Actually, the suggestions don't require any more experimentation than
what you did. But the command you did as a regular user really does
have to be done as root. Also the only difference between ifconfig
eth0 and ifconfig is that the ifconfig without the argument allows
debian to show you which interfaces if any are working. It is quite
possible that your setup is working but under a different interface
than eth0.

I believe I have made it very clear how much experimentation is
possible in prior discussions.
I followed Tim's directions, there are the results.

Hi,
As root, do:
ifconfig and check which interfaces show up. Your ethernet might be
picked up as another interface, e.g. eth1.
You should simply first test by pinging your router.

Hi all,
here is what happened when seeking the ip address.
Let me explain how I set up the machine.
before even booting I put the dsl cable I am using now to send
this message into the linux box, keeping it connected to my
modem/rooter as usual.
Because we were pressed for time, after letting speakup start,
and entering my username, Karen, and my password, I simply used
the print screen key to silence speakup.
the error message we got is below.
I saw karen@suburst:~s and there was no other place to type so
after karen@sunburst:~s I typed /sbin/ifconfig eth0 as instructed
the message we got was: eth0: error fetching interface
information: Device not Found
We tried the step more than once to be sure.
let me add that typing shutdown -h also produced an error, so I
simply turned off the machine after restoring speakup.
The Ethernet card was in the computer before the hard drive
containing Debian was installed, so was the rest of the hardware
Linux identified.
thoughts?
Karen
