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 :) ) -- . ''`.
