Here I use adsl broadband so I had to configure the connection with pppoeconf but even choosing to connect at boot, the ppp0 would connect only if I called 'pon dsl-provider' under root in the terminal. Now I routed my modem and I'm connecting through auto DHCP (after deleting the ppp configuration through ceni). I observed in the boot up messages that it connected ok but something is happening (maybe because of slim) that after logging in I can only connect through 'manage network interfaces'>interfaces>'start/restart on apply'. (well, that's what I do now, but if I remember well the connection would activate if I configured anything in the Control Center that required my password - in both cases, ppp or eth).
Just to mention too, even putting 'numlock' 'on' in slim.conf the keyboard is still set to numlock off when I log in.
Regards.

What does it connect as?
You might need to reset it again via ceni.

Not sure what you mean...
Now, as before, the 'interface eth0' thingy in the bottom panel comes up ok when I log in. When I was using ppp0 I had to call it with 'pon dsl-provider' or it would come up by itself when I fiddled with the Control Center ( otherwise I couldn't navigate, of course).
Now it's selected (in ceni) to 'eth0'-'dhcp'-'auto'(installed device or something like that - not wireless). The point is that I see it starting the connection at boot but I can't navigate after log in unless I click that 'start/restart' option in 'manage network' in Control Center. It's no problem at all but I'm just mentioning it in case it's something unexpected.

What does /etc/network/interfaces show? (you have to open it as a text file as root)

Sorry for the late response, I went to sleep.
Code: Select all
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
#
# If you are using the MEPIS Network Assistant
# then DO NOT use this file to define wireless/wpa options
#
#mapping hotplug
#script echo
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Try changing auto eth0 to
allow-hotplug eth0
allow-hotplug eth0

It didn't work for the network and it disabled the nVidia driver (I think so...the screen went to 800x600 and the keyboard shortcut to zoom in & out - ctrl-alt-'+' or'-' - didn't work). I observed that just logging out doesn't stop the network. Anyway, I can do more tests if you want to but from my usability position it's ok the way it is.
