Failed to bring up eth1 - Debian Wheezy

Hi,

I tried to configure my ethernet interface on a Debian Wheezy VM, but I've a problem. When I try to restart /etc/init.d/networking, I've no error message.
But my eth1 interface isn't up and when I try to up it with : ifup eth1, it return me :

Code:

root@debian-main:/# ifup eth1

RTNETLINK answers: File exists

Failed to bring up eth1

My /etc/network/interface file is :

Code:

auto eth0

allow-hotplug eth0

iface eth0 inet dhcp





iface eth1 inet static

        address 192.168.10.1

        netmask 255.255.255.0

        gateway 192.168.10.254

Eth0 is my internet interface and eth1 is a local interface. I want to install a DNS and a DHCP server on eth1 to be able to connect client with this VM and give them an ip adress.

Thanks guys

How did you configure networking for your VM?
Did you add a second network adapter? How is it configured?

I've 2 network adapter, eth0 on bridge for internet and eth1 on NAT.

I show you a ifconfig:

Thanks you.

Looks like eth1 is up and working. Is network manager running?

We don't have install network manager.

What happens when you remove gateway 192.168.10.254 from your interface file.

It works!

Thank you !
