"Sorry, the only reason i'm editing them is because i have to plug in the desktop with debian, run the commands, then plug this laptop in and manually type all the things that come up which sucks with log files heh."
One more question to answer, please. Are you using a router or are you plugging directly into a cable/dsl modem? This just looks suspiciously like the problems I had with moving a wireless bridge between two Linux boxes. I think it could also happen with two different machines that have the same machine name. The first one the router sees works just fine, but the second is flaky as hell.
If you are using Gnome's network-manager, you may have found a bug in it. The bug report, http://packages.debian.org/testing/net/network-manager , and http://bugs.debian.org/network-manager shows a very large number of errors. The one about disconnecting came from it. You could try removing network-manager and doing the configuration of your network from the command line. It is mostly editing /etc/network/interfaces and running /etc/init.d/networking restart.
Sorry, the only reason i'm editing them is because i have to plug in the desktop with debian, run the commands, then plug this laptop in and manually type all the things that come up which sucks with log files heh.
Personally I would plug in another NIC card.. like a 3Com or Intel, then SSH to the box, you can then run your commands, and copy and paste them on the other machine.. figure out what the problem is, get the on-board NIC working, then pull the add in NIC ..
Hey guys, my laptop i was using's batter died last night so I couldn't post till now but I just wanted to say thanks for your help. I ended up just resolving the problem by switching back to sarge and all is well now. Thanks anyway.
i recently installed debian lenny from a netinst disk onto a machine and i am having the same network issues. it is a wired network and i am using a netgear rt314 router. i have all the info that was asked of the op.

i recently installed debian lenny from a netinst disk onto a machine and i am having the same network issues. it is a wired network and i am using a netgear rt314 router. i have all the info that was asked of the op.
i added the entry "blacklist tulip" to the bottom of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist , but upon reboot the same previous condition occurs.
contents of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Code:
# This file lists modules which will not be loaded as the result of
# alias expansion, with the purpose of preventing the hotplug subsystem
# to load them. It does not affect autoloading of modules by the kernel.
