IPv4 addresser are not being assigned on boot under Ubuntu 6.10

Hi,

I have two network adapters configured on my laptop.
a Wireless LAN adapter and an Ethernet 100 card.

this is what my /etc/networking/interfaces looks like:

Code:

# cat interfaces

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback





iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.0.11

netmask 255.255.255.0



auto eth1

iface eth1 inet dhcp



auto eth2

iface eth2 inet dhcp



auto ath0

iface ath0 inet dhcp



auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp





auto provider

iface provider inet ppp

provider provider



    pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf

as you can see, eth0 has a static IP, but this IP is not being assigned on boot.

I have to assign it with ifconfig manually, after I log in, which is really annoying.

It used to work for some time, but in the last week or so, it just seized to assign the IPv4 address, while the IPv6 address and the interface itself, is loaded at boottime.

please help.

Hello,

just add "auto eth0" line before "iface eth0..." line and it should work

Oliv'

Nevermind, I fixed it myself.

The pre-up command was th source of the problems.

As well as the provider directive, since the ppoeconf allreade has a pppd script in init.d, so I was establishing my interconnection twice.

the

Code:

auto eth0

line is the last line in the file, works fine.
