I have a "co-located" debian server (i386, hamm). My ISP moved offices so the machine had to be taken down and rebooted. Now dmesg shows:

(I've cut and pasted that in bits so don't take the numbers of lines too seriously). The ISP tells me initial difficulties getting the server visible were because it was "losing the gateway". It _had_ been up and running for 40 days and neither he nor I can think of any changes we've made that would cause this. I've no wish to use appletalk and checking with dselect suggests I don't have either atalk or netatalk (?) or any of the packages that mention appletalk installed. /etc/init.d/network is: #! /bin/sh ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -net 127.0.0.0 IPADDR0=195.182.181.1 IPADDR1=195.182.181.251 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=195.182.181.0 BROADCAST=195.182.181.255 GATEWAY=195.182.181.254 ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR0} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} ifconfig eth0:0 ${IPADDR0} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} ifconfig eth0:1 ${IPADDR1} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} route add -net ${NETWORK} route add -host ${IPADDR0} dev eth0:0 route add -host ${IPADDR1} dev eth0:1 [ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1 That was created by the ISP long ago. Anyone see what's going wrong? Any chance it's down to things they're sending around their new network setup? TIA, Chris
