Re: Bug? - Debian does not assign IP address after reboot?

[linuxthefish]

Hi,

I removed allow-hotplug eth0 and it still does not auto configure :(

Where would i find log files to diagnose this?

Thanks

Please run

  ifup -v eth0

after a reboot if the error persists and paste the output verbatim to
the list.

You cannot have both "auto eth0" _and_ "allow-hotplug eth0". Choose one.

Hi,

After I reboot my Debian machine it does not assign an IP to eth0. It
brings the interface up after a reboot, but does not set the IP on it!
Running a cronjob every min to set the IP address is the only way to
fix this, but why does it happen? Is this some sort of bug?

My interfaces file is as follows:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
   address 172.16.0.30
   netmask 255.255.0.0

allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet static
 wpa-ap-scan 1
 wpa-scan-ssid 1
   wpa-ssid connect
   wpa-psk linuxthefish
address 192.168.43.200
netmask 255.255.255.0

Please can someone tell me why this happens? :(

Thanks!


I hope that is not your real wireless key.

If it is you might want to change it now that it has been shared in a 
public forum. ;-)
