Thanks Andrew
I have a Xubuntu partition that works very well without Gnome but I would like
to get to the bottom of why Debian/Gnome will not access the network on the
other partition. Everything else is great. There must be a logical solution
since other folks run Debian/Gnome quite happily.

What does /etc/resolve.conf look like on each partition?

Let me add to this, Pete, if you're still willing to try to solve
this:

Post up the following items from BOTH partitions for comparison:

contents of /etc/resolv.conf
output of /sbin/ifconfig
output of uname -a
output of ps -e
output of ls /etc/init.d/

this will help us review the differences between the systems and see
if we can track this down. I still suspect that something in gnome is
grabbing hold of your networking situation and make it more
complicated than it needs to be.

Also, as a test, boot into rescue mode or single-user mode and, run
/etc/init.d/networking start and see what that gets you on the command
line for pings and maybe a text browser (links, lynx etc).
