 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is your problem, you probably want to change that to "auto".


iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.31.253.153
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.31.253.0
        broadcast 10.31.253.255
        gateway 10.31.253.1
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
        dns-nameservers 10.100.8.203

Then I edit only the 'address' line of 'iface eth0 inet static' to:

address 10.31.253.154

So, should I add the following line:

auto eth0

before this line:

allow-hotplug eth0



I think he said that you need to *change*, not *add*.



What is the use of allow-hotplug eth0? Can I remove the allow-hotplug line?
