Sorry for taking so long to reply. Run ifconfig -a (open Aterminal and type ifconfig -a).

If you see a listing for eth0 - similar to the listing for lo, then type the following into Aterm

Code Sample

sudo su
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig

If you see both interfaces listed (eth0 & lo) after doing the above, then you should be up and running.

Many thanks - that solved it! Connected to web and am typing this in DSL!

Now I just need to work out why my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum won't boot from USB pendrive. There is a Phoenix BIOS update available, but I'm concerned about the risks of flashing the BIOS. Hmmm.

If I can either be brave or get around this problem, how can I ensure that when booting from USB drive, the ifconfig eth0 up command runs automatically?

Really appreciate your help Trog Dog.

DSL only boots from pendrive as USB-HDD when plugged into USB ports at back of PC. Front ports (easy-access) do not work).

Even if booting from CD, the internet connection is always up in DSL without any further configuration.

Thanks,
