Yes - as I sent it I thought: oh, bother, I failed to point out that not only did it not achieve what he wanted, but it wasn't actually doing anything. But he wanted static anyway. As for your other points, again, yes you are obviously right. But I have had it for years and it works and I am a great believer in: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;-) > > You want iface eth0 inet static and then the settings.

I prefer resolvconf, because I have all network configurations in one place ;) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic signature.asc Description: Digital signature

First you need to decide if you need/want NM. IMO it is not really useful for a desktop with a single connection, but you didn't give more details. If you go this way best is to completely purge all NM related packages and go with the config posted by Lisi.

You are telling the system to use dhcp. You want iface eth0 inet static and then the settings. Here is mine: iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 212.23.3.100 212.23.6.100 The gateway is my router.
