by Hi:
Just starting a Debian 3.0r0 install from scratch.
Network: DSL is bridged with static IP.
I've read the man pages on the interfaces file but cannot
get it to work. Instead, I need to issue the folowing
two commands before I can ping anything except localhost:
ifconfig eth0 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd up netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw aaa.bbb.ccc.1 dev eth0
where, aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is my static ip, and aaa.bbb.ccc.1
the ip of the DSL modem/gateway.
Here are the relevant, but non-functional
lines in /etc/network//interfaces:
iface eth0 inet static
address aaa.bbb.ddd.ccc
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway aaa.bbb.ddd.1
Any idea what could be broken?
I get nowhere with those lines in /etc/network/interface
and using the command ifup -a. If there is no resolution
to this, where in the boot sequence should I put the
ifconfig and route commands? (I tried adding a script
with those commands in /etc/network/if-up.d
with no succes either)
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
