Recently I looked into setting up my laptop so that it could switch between static and dhcp. I looked at an article on this group and tried the suggestion and it didn't work. I restored my interfaces file back to normal (i had commented out what I had put in before) and thought all would be well, but now it doesn't seem to like even my old static ip network anymore. I tried doing some diagnostics by running ifconfig and route, but they dont return any values at all. I am confused on what I might have messed up, as I was very careful to return the file back to it's original state. Any help? Below is a copy of what is in my file currently. Is there any sort of reconfig tool for the network in debian? Anybody see what might be wrong? Also, what is the best way to be able to switch between static and dhcp for me? Thanks for the input!
