"I dont see an 'auto eth0' line here. does it come up? kk" you got it: it wasn't. Didn't like the gateway address. Mind you, that was no where near the error message I received from ifup
wouldn't it be nice to have an error message from DHCPD to the effect of: DHCPD failed as eth0 is not up. eth0 is not up because you screwed up the gateway address??? -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
