Do you have the correct modules loaded for your NIC?
which distro are you using?

hi

distrib debian woody
kernel 2.4.20

do i need to have the modules ? and where ?

Can you show us the output of lsmod and give us the type of NIC that you have. At least this way we will know if the correct modules are loaded.

I don't know Debian that well, but I am sure once we get the module loaded that getting networking set up will be a sinch.
