From time to time recently, networking stops working - symptom url not found on the Debian firefox equivalent.
If I do '/etc/init.d/networking restart', dhcp comes back with a lease immediately, but nothing works. If I do 'ifconfig', there is no info for eth0, just lo.
/etc/network/interfaces has
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
i face eth0 inet dhcp
No amount of stop/start/restart will restore the connection. Reboot cures the problem.
Any guess what causes this? |

I've quite a similar setup and I'm experiencing similar problems from time to time.
I'm quite confident that "allow-hotplug" causes troubles.
As a workaround you may try replacing it with the standard "auto" and skip searching on boot with Ctrl-D if you're not connected. |

Thanksa, I'll try that. |
