Hi,

Because of SATA interface problems I relocated my disk to another
computer with a different NIC. Debian starts up well, but somehow I
don't get through the router. I can ping the local network. Being not
very familiar with Debian yet, which file in /etc should I change?

Other question is: when I "dmesg | grep eth0" I get a normal answer
about my 10/100/1000 card. But "ifconfig -a" only shows lo, eth1 and
eth2. What could be wrong?

Thanks.

The different NIC has been given a different interface name - the old
card was eth0, the new card is either eth1 or eth2.

Two options:

1. change /etc/network/interfaces to refer to eth1 or eth2 as appropriate

2. change or delete /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules (will
be regenerate on boot) to the new NIC is eth0

Ok. Did option 2, and got eth0 working. But I still can't get through
the router, while it's correctly setup in Networking. Any other suggestions?

Install package 'resolvconf' so your resolv.conf will be updated
automaticly through DHCP etc.
