	I tried this and it failed on my computer. Here is what I 
tried with the static settings # out so I can again get Internet

karl at Jaunty:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
# iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.2.6
# netmask 255.255.255.0
#gateway 192.168.0.1

#auto eth0

	The why it didn't work is a real mystery to me. I am using 
9.04 with network manager.
