Network settings

[Jeff Blank]

JJN,

Thanks for the help, I couldn't get it to connect directly so I fell back 
into the old windows habit, when you have a problem, reinstall!  With the 
original debian install, it connects to the proxy server fine so once again 
i tried apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade to sid...  and lo and 
behold.,.... I lost my network connection again when I rebooted...  oh 
well.... for now I'll live with woody, They've upgraded most of the 
packages I want anyway :)

Thanks again.
