Used Tuxboot to put Clonezilla on usb external drive. Used Clonezilla to make images of 2 partitions from the internal hard disk, on the same usb ext drive. Rebooted original machine from which partition images were created. It has "lost" its lan connection. We can't ping it from another pc, and it can't see the lan. Its lan connection worked fine before booting Clonezilla from the usb ext drive, so what could Clonezilla have done to the lan connection?
So you meant after Clonezilla live was booted on your machine, the original, existing OS failed to connect to LAN?
If so, some Linux kernel modules loaded when Clonezilla live was boot might trigger buggy NIC firmware. I remember some reported that, and they fixed that by upgrading the firmware of NIC.
