Hi, Sorry to have bothered anyone with the problem outlined below. It turns out the problem was with my hub. Coming from a Windows background, when the network device would not activate I thought it would be related to the laptop or some configuration/driver problem. When I put a crossover cable between the laptop and another PC the card could be activated okay and the two machines could see each other okay, but when I put a regular cable through the hub nothing would happen. started getting suspicious of the hub when other machines also could not see each other. Thought I'd post what happened in case any one else from a similar background has the same problem and is initially confused, as I was. Thanks anyway.

Then I made a few changes and lost connection to the network. Tried to get things back as they were, but could not. So, though it may seem drastic decided on a completed rebuild from scratch. And now I still cannot activate network device. As the laptop boots it starts the eth0 okay. But when it finished booting if you look in the network configuration it shows the status of eth0 as inactive and when I try to activate it, keep getting the message "Cannot activate network device eth0". Is there some file I need to edit to get this to work? Have tried different network cards and get the same result. I'm using a Xircom RealPort 2 card.
