If you install dhcpcd and have any trouble with having your net come up at boot, you might be missing the "auto" line from /etc/network/interfaces: For me it's auto lo eth0 Also, if you ever need to have your isp's dns addresses changed, you'll want to uncomment a line or so in /etc/dhcpc/config. I think usually just doing an apt-get and having dhcpcd installed will pretty well set you up. -- Cheryl
