Questions: Do you have more then 1 Ethernet device in your system? Do the network settings listed look accurate? Can you ping any internal machines, like your gateway (192.168.1.1) Can you ping external machines?
Yes, it is working fine as long as I can be aware of it; I only notice a message at the shudown time. No, I do not have any other Ethernet device. I use eth0 to connect to Internet (through a ISP) and I do not have any network here. So, all machines are external. Furthermore, I do everything with the Internet with no problem at all. Paul
