Thanks very much for all your help. I got it going purely by chance. I once again tried to use the sysinstall facility to configure the network settings. This usually has no effect.....I go through the configuration and at the end it asks me if I want to bring up the interface, I say yes and that is it. The next time I booted up, the configuration stopped halfway through. sysinstall had added a spurious " to the sysconfig file. It was trying to find this that I discoverd the section for my network card was still commented out. I fixed the quotation mark and removed the comment and it has all been wonderful ever since. Is this a flaw in sysinstall routine or did I do something wrong?
