I'm on a VPN set up by a D-link router connected to a cable modem. The internal IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1, and its dhcpd is set up to deliver IP addresses between 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.199, with my MAC address bound to 192.168.0.109. The bizarre thing is that my computer seems to be getting the IP addrsess 169.254.46.151! This seems very strange to me. I'm using Debian unstable, and have tried the following two different stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp and auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.109 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 The DHCP stanza seems to show me getting the desired IP address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/network$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Reconfiguring network interfaces...cat: /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid: No such file or directory ifup: interface lo already configured Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client 2.0pl5 Copyright 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 The Internet Software Consortium.
