I need to set my static IP address on startup to x.y.z.141. My router is on x.y.z.1 My network is on x.y.z.0 I'm confused about what I should be writing in the interfaces file. ifup gives the error: "/etc/network/interfaces: too many parameters for iface line" for the line below. iface eth0 inet static address 194.159.148.141 netmask 255.255.255.0 Please help! Thanks Rory
