I have the following in my interfaces file of a firewall. eth0 is the
external NIC and eth1 is the internal NIC. I am getting DHCP addys from
my provider.
The following list of commands hangs:
* ifup eth0
* ifup eth1
* ifdown eth1 eth0
* ifup eth1
The following works ok:
* ifup eth0
* ifup eth1
* ifdown eth1 eth0
* *rmmod tulip*
* ifup eth1
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
