That is, "invoke-rc.d networking > restart"? I had not tried that. I had tried booting and assumed that would also restart the network. So I tried your suggestion. That did in fact set eth0 to the desired static IP 10.97.14.253 while producing this error message: "Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces ... (warning)." However, on rebooting I was once again assigned the dynamic IP 10.97.14.200. In case it matters, I'll mention that I'm running Wheezy. The kernel just moved up to 3.0.0-1-686-pae on Friday, but this IP problem predates that. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
