Problem mystically disappeared when I boot again this time. But still some questions remains.

Why the message only says interface lo, but not eth0?
Can anyone explain this?
% ifconfig eth0 down
$ ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:2F:BE:4B:BA inet addr:192.168.2.13 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [snip] Ie, I tried to shut down the eth0, but, should it be gone from "ifconfig -a" output?
Yes.
What do you mean by yes? should it be gone from "ifconfig -a" output? If so, why it is still there?
Ok, below are answers to your questions, s. keeling:
I tried to regain dhcp leases but that didn't help.
"... didn't help" means what? What did dhcp do, what was the result (messages), etc?
normal. I check the dhcp leases, looks normal too.
By then, I ran out of ideas so I rebooted. However, same things happened, and I still can't get onto the Internet.
Note that the Internet is working fine. The other machine that's using the same router worked fine. Also, AOK when I boot back to Debian.
Good to know; I'd have suggested frobbing (power cycling) the router next. Not necessary.
Please help. It's urgent.
You have two computers, one of which works fine. How can this be "urgent"?
"The other machine" does not necessarily mean a computer, s. keeling. :-)
