Re: How do I configure eth1 on bootup?

[Kurt Lieber <debian@kirpatrick.com>]

If you're using static IP addressing, you need to define the netmask, 
network, broadcast and gateway addresses as well.  Here's an example form one 
of my machines:


auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.1.1.3
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.1.1.0
        broadcast 10.1.1.255
        gateway 10.1.1.1

Obviously, you need to change this information to suit your particular 
network, but the example should at least get you going.
