  Morning All,

  James Devenish advised that November's plug list 'Interface not being brought
  up' could help -- thank's

  Performed the following since looking at the plug list dated 10 Nov 2003
      

     /etc/init.d/networking restart
  Reconfiguring network interfaces...SIOCDELRT: no such device
  SIOCSIFADDR:  no such device
  eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags:  no such device
  SIOCSIFNETMASK:  no such device 
  SIOCSIFBRDADDR:  no such device
  eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags:  no such device
  eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags:  no such device
  done

                        ..............
   
     /etc/resolv.conf
  nameserver 192.168.0.1                  this is my gateway machines address

                       ...............

    dpkg -S /sbin/ifconfig
  net-tools: /sbin/ifconfig

                       ..............

  This did help but still confused there is something I am missing.

  Thanks
