Thierry Carrez: Sorry for the disappearing act - have been very busy. The lines in /etc/network/interfaces used to read:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback
Following ThomasNovin's suggestion, I backed up the original file and replaced its contents with:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
Rebooting after this does not fix the problem. I cannot setup a static IP and must use DHCP as this machine is at work.
Any ideas?
