Well, unfortunately, it didn't quite work out that
way. In fact, ifup would not work at all with
/etc/network/interfaces configured like that . The
following is exactly what I did to
/etc/network/interfaces:
# iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.1.1
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# network 192.168.1.0
# broadcast 192.168.1.255
# gateway 192.168.1.2
iface eth0 inet dhcp
When it would not come up that way, I tried (just
replacing static with dhcp):
iface eth0 inet dhcp
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.2
Unfortunately, that would not come up either.
When I put it back to the way it started (static in
the first line), then it came up again.
BTW, I'm not sure how relevant to the problem it
is, but once the interface was back up I
managed to ping 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.0
and 192.168.1.255, but *not* 192.168.1.2. Or
outside numbers.
