The static IP settings are in /etc/network/interfaces. The slug actually is my DHCP server and is running DNSMASQ for that. The IP that it comes up with is within range, but is an old one I used to have assigned to it which makes me curious. I don't see why I would have to reserve an address for it. Shouldn't Debian boot with the settings I specify regardless of what the DHCP server says (in this case itself)? There are no conflicts with other devices on the network. And when I check the leases file during the time that the erroneous settings are applied, there is no listing for the address the slug got. This tells me that it may be reverting to its old static settings and not getting it from DHCP. The interfaces setup is here: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 broadcast 192.168.1.255 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
