If it was working fine, why did you want to mess with something that was working fine? Confused about that...Hope someone can help you. Looks like securitybreach is on the case. :yes:

Heard that. Let's hope they can come up with an answer for you.My thought would be, you only just installed. and it would just be another what 40 mins to reinstall? If no easy fix is forthcoming, that might be a good solution.

Issue solvedafter re-install of everything but the home directory I still had no ETH0 connection. The fix is pretty technical - so try to follow.I dis-connected the network cable from the pc and from the router - and then plugged it back in.Lesson learned - check the easy things first.

The link isn't working here. Can you copy and paste what it said. Or see if the link is still valid on your end. Without knowing exactly what you did, we can't tell you how to undo it.edit; Sorry for the crosspost. I didn't see that you had fixed the problem. Edited by lewmur
