Perhaps I'm shooting myself in the foot having this conversation with myself but since I've no other option I'll blog away.
Checked:
/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/network/interfaces
All files are fine. (Fine as in they're exactly the same as on this machine which is running fine.)
The only problem that I can see is that the lines
Code:
inet addr:192.168.2.100 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: <snipped> Scope:Link
(or similar) are mising from the 'eth0' section of the ifconfig report.
Onward ho.
