It would help to know what version of Debian you decided to use, how
you did your install, net-install ? etc... 'Pump" is not loaded by
default on Woody, so if you did a net-install installl networking sould
be already setup & dhclient is used by Woody. Look at the file
'/etc/network/interfaces' should look something like this for a system
using dhcp:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
installation
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
'man interfaces' see also 'ifup' 'ifdown',
Debian usually sets up networking during the install !
