Actually, to be honest, I was posting this for somebody else
who I'm trying to help in a Xandros forum. Perhaps he was
talking with you in IRC.
His /etc/network/interfaces variously looked like this, and
none of them worked:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
OR
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.11.8
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.11.1
dns-nameserver 192.168.11.1
In the second one, first he tried just address and netmask,
then added gateway, then added dns-... None of them
worked.
