With ifconfig? If so, your card is probably fine. Trying pinging 192.168.64.20, see if it works. > When debian was trying to locate ftp servers in the uk so the rest of > debian would install, i got the report "something wicked happened". That means your name server stuff isn't setup. echo nameserver 192.168.64.20 >> /etc/resolv.conf 'host ftp.uk.debian.org' should then return something sensible. Also, you may need to tell apt about your web proxy (if you are using one), like: http_proxy=http://192.168.64.20:3128/ apt-get update ... or something. Is this any use? Cheers, Alex.
