Trying to resurrect an ancient computer to use it as a low-powerer (wattage) file server/web server. After install Debian, couldn't communicate on the network.
Used ifconfig -a to show all the network interfaces. For some reason, eth2 was the selected choice.
Edited /etc/network/interfaces and changed references for eth0 to eth2. Then just did a ifup eth2, and behold the transmission of bits over my twisted pairs.
Other good commands to help diagnose the problems:
lspci - List all the PCI devices
lsmod - List modules loaded into the running kernel
modprobe -l - List all available modules
