Hi Colin
My wireless router DWR-730 would not switch off last night, so it was
on this morning for me to run ifconfig -a
The result was:
chas at Charles-PC:~$ sudo ifconfig -a
[sudo] password for chas:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 10:c3:7b:6a:c5:ea

chas at Charles-PC:~$
You see there is no entry for eth1 at all.
I checked Menu bar/ Edit Connections and the entry is present and seems
correct.
So why is it not connected; just greyed out "Ethernet disconnected"?
Then tried to reboot the router that showed: Firefox can't establish a
connection to the server at 192.168.0.1.
Physically switched off the router and on again so it rebooted and
connected perfectly.
Thanks for your attention.
Chas
