Or, because the NIC is a different interface e.g. eth1 and you only have eth0 specified in your interfaces config. Ubuntu will create a persistant interface name for each NIC, this uses the file; /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules which you can alter or delete. hads -- http://nicegear.co.nz VoIP and Linux compatible hardware
