Dave, Okay so we know that the Kernel sees you network card and the IP addresses are correct. For your network configuration is the subnet mask correct? Also, what is the gateway you have eth0 pointing to? Please make sure that the gateway is the same IP address as your router or DSL/Cable modem. In addition are the IP address on the same subnet as your router? For example if your router is at 192.168.10.1, then you local network card should be set to 192.168.10.XXX, where XXX can be anything except 255. One addition command to try is the "traceroute" command, where you type "traceroute google.com" and see what happens. Can you tell me your router configuration?

Everything looks OK except there are no input or output bytes. When installing , I chose the "no firewall" option, and I didn't start any firewall. IP addresses are static which I entered as part of the installation process. Once again, the correct IP address appears in the ifconfig output.
