the interfaces file is really only going to come into pay during bootup, or when using eg ifup/ifdown scripts.
You indicated that you may have configured the interfaces by hand via ifconfig; if so those changes will not survive a reboot. How long since your last reboot? If it's safe to do on this machine, I would try to reboot it and see if it comes up with the settings in your interface file this time. Also, in case this is a remote host or a production machine be prepared to intervene with direct terminal access on the off chance it stubbornly refuses to be connectable on bootup. If the anomaly survives a reboot, I would next use the following command to see what if any software or scripts are configured to muss around with the interfaces: grep -r 'eth[01]' /etc - - Jesse -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
