Hey, I need to set up an ethernet interface on my debian box as a pointopoint interface.
I tried the following: /etc/network/interfaces eth0 inet static address "my ip" netmask 255.255.255.255 pointopoint "remote ip" If I do a ifup eth0 the interface is brought up with the correct IP and netmask but in broadcast and not pointopoint mode. Anyone have any ideas. Help is very appreciated. Thanks.
