I would try following steps: 1. comment out (put a # in front) of unnecessary lines in /etc/network/interfaces (although I'm not sure they influence anything). auto lo iface lo inet loopback #mapping eth0 # script grep # map eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp 2. If 1. doesn't work then go for Florian Kulzer's suggestion and comment out 'allow-hotplug eth0' and add 'auto eth0' Note: commenting unnecessary lines is safer than just deleting them as you can always remove the # if anything goes wrong.
