I also added IPV6 to the black list to get it turned off all the way by adding "blacklist ipv6" to the end of etc/modprobe/blacklist as suggested here. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=197399&sid=6445dbfe3b0c6458f02e06d052e9bc8e I was suprised to find my new debian hooking up to the net automatically. For years I always had to mess around to get it to go. Wonder what other treats I am in store for? Thanks for the help! j Thanks Nancy.

I was suprised to find my new debian hooking up to the net automatically.
For years I always had to mess around to get it to go.
Wonder what other treats I am in store for?

Thanks for the help!

I had no idea! I must have googled for 3 days after I upgraded, and I upgraded when it was still in "testing" and even then, with the posts I found it was trial and error to get back my speedy internet. Did you get yours fixed? What worked? I'm interested to know if you had to do the same combination of turning off ipV6 and the IceWeasel tweak. Let me know and thanks for your posts! :) Ha!

I compilied my post from several threads including this one: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=49686 and this one http://www.fak3r.com/2008/12/02/howto-disable-ipv6-networking-in-debian/ and combined them in this one walk thru, which is the only way I got it to work on my system. None of those threads worked independantly, so I combined the steps here. Not that thread actually, but thanks for the link.
