Install goes smoothly, network works fine (as evidenced by being able to download from mirror) during install. However after boot, no network even though ifconfig shows eth0 is there, just doesn't have an IP assigned (using dhcp of course).
I'm not a newbie but I'm no expert either....
(yea I know jessie is old but I have the DVD so I figured I'd upgrade to stretch after I got this going. Kinda hard with no network tho!

I don't think jessie to stretch upgrade is the best strategy. If you are new to debian it might be better to do a fresh install of stretch.
If you want to continue there is plenty to learn about network here

good luck!

Re: Installing 8.4.0 onto a Barebones Asus P1-P5945G
Thanks but that really doesn't help.
My issue that the eth0 shows (ifconfig -a) but it simply isn't activated. My /etc/network/interfaces looks fine and is set for dhcp

Re: Installing 8.4.0 onto a Barebones Asus P1-P5945G
I found the problem
Not ONE of the installer images I've tried seems to install dhcp. After boot, if I change eth0 to be static and manually assign things in /etc/network/interfaces, it boots up just fine with network working.
Go figure....
