Hi *,
it's some time now (I can't say how long) that I have a "little" problem on my
Debian (it's an unstable box). What happens is that at every boot the netmask
of my eth0 is reset, so I can't connect.
This is /etc/network/interfaces:
---8<---
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
gateway 192.168.1.1
metric 1
address 192.168.1.36
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
---8<---
Here's what appears when the computer has just booted:
# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:DE:AD:DE:AD:00
inet addr:192.168.1.36 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.255
inet6 addr: fe80::211:d8ff:fec8:e1eb/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
...
#
I can connect only if I set the correct netmask and I fix the routing
table:
# ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add default gw 192.168.1.1
I've already grep'ed for ifconfig into /etc/, also looked for eth0
into /etc/udev/, bot I haven't noticed anything strange.
Any idea about this?
Kindly,
David (a newcomer to debian-user :) )
