I feel like I am missing something obvious.

here is my  interfaces file:


# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth0

#force higher speed in spite of signal peak & dhcp
#mtu 1500


iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE mtu 1500


and here is the result of ifconfig:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:18:F3:86:8C:92
          inet addr:192.168.0.7  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:
255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:576  Metric:1
          RX packets:1135 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1112 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          Interrupt:58 Base address:0xe000

I tried moving the auto eth0 line around, but that either did nothing
or broke the network.

Thanks again,
Dave
