Here is an odd one.

I am installing Edubuntu on a PC for my kid. It's dual booting Windows 7.

During the installation process, the network interface is active. However, once the installation is complete there is no Ethernet interface and so network is inactive.

I am looking at /etc/network/interfaces and I see:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.0.1

netmask 255.255.255.0

I am sorry, but I haven't read much on Edubuntu. Could this be the default setting - that the network is disabled to protect the kid from the 'hostile Internet' - just in case?

Else, why this behaviour?
