I believe the Debian /etc/interfaces file requires you to indent the sub-parameters of each iface stanza. My Debian system has a pretty decent man page for interfaces in which we find this: Options are usually indented for clarity [...] but are not required to be. ...and which also

recap: DHCP will work, but I can't assign a static IP address to my machine, unless I do a DHCP setup first, then do a static, and restart the network interface, but do not reboot the machine b/c the interface configuration fails to work after a OS reboot(if left as static). On 9/13/05, Benjamin

Tried that, but to no avail. Here's a thought based on one oddity I have observed. If you change the /etc/network/interfaces definitions, sometimes, when you do an ifdown ethX the interface won't actually be taken all the way down -- if you do an ifconfig you will still see the device

FWIW, here's a very simple static config file from one of my Debian boxes: # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation #

It seems that my networking is screwed up somehow. Using Debian, I have tried to set a static IP on my local network. When I boot the machine, the networking fails. If I edit the interface, switching over to a DHCP configuration, things work, and if I then switch things back to the static

I could be wrong, but I don't think that debian likes having extraneouslines after the auto eth0 line.Try putting your iface eth0 inet static (and subsequent lines) immediately after it and see if that helps. Tried that, but to no avail. I thought maybe there was a conflict with the number of IP
