When I re-installed Hardy a few days ago it came up with the network
interface configured with "roaming enabled". Tonight I finally got back
to taking a look at returning the system to the point it was when re-
installation was necessary. I went to network-admin and configured a
statis ip address. When I tried restarting the network interface eth-0
wouldn't come up. I foolishly tried rebooting before I thought to check
the interfaces file.
Once I checked the interfaces file I realized that my changes had worked
properly, but "eth0" wasn't added to the "auto" line so there was no way
it would ever start. I manually added eth0 to the line, saved, then re-
stating the networking script in /etc/init.d and everything work just
fine. I have included the resulting "interfaces" file below as it was
saved.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.10.95
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.10.10.1
With my modification:
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.10.95
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.10.10.1
