Dave, I tried the network configurator but had no success with it. I wonder if someone can point me to a site that contains the details of how I can connect my machine up to the net. I need something that can really explain to me what I need to do and why. Cheers.

I'm on a high-speed cable modem connection. On some systems it connects automatically (my laptop with RH9) and on others it doesn't (my desktop with RH9 and Debian Etch). With RH9 I simply do (as root) : /etc/init.d/network restart Unfortunately that doesn't work with my Debian system. I discovered that I could do this : pump -i eth0 I'm not sure about the option flag, I'm not at that machine. Btw, I think you'll need to be the root user. That completely knocks out eth0. Then I run this command : ifup eth0 And that makes the connection. Weird, I know, but it works. As someone else wrote, you may have good luck with the GNOME network configurator, it's worth a try.
