As if I were not confused enough, now I need to get rid of /etc/init.d/network and use this new /etc/network/interfaces, but I cannot get it to work. This is what I have done with it:
iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.1 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 # broadcast 192.168.1.255 up route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 down route del -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 Do I really need the broadcast line? I have always used one, but I wonder if it is needed. Is there documentation for this newfangled way of doing things? tnx -- Andrew
