Hi, I have a Debian testing. I am experiencing sme problmes with ethernet cards ip configurations. My /etc/network/interfaces file is:
### etherconf DEBCONF AREA. DO NOT EDIT THIS AREA OR INSERT TEXT BEFORE IT. auto lo iface lo inet loopback ### END OF DEBCONF AREA. PLACE YOUR EDITS BELOW; THEY WILL BE PRESERVED. iface eth1 inet static address 172.18.255.77 netmask 255.255.255.0 iface eth0 inet static address 172.18.3.51 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 172.18.3.254 auto eth0 auto eth1 but if I run ip addr I get: 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0c:6e:91:c4:11 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 169.254.125.207/16 scope link eth0 inet 172.18.3.51/24 brd 172.18.3.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::20c:6eff:fe91:c411/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0e:e8:8a:20:cd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 169.254.130.156/16 scope link eth1 inet 172.18.255.77/24 brd 172.18.255.255 scope global eth1 inet6 fe80::20e:e8ff:fe8a:20cd/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 and ip route: 172.18.3.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 172.18.3.51 172.18.255.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 172.18.255.77 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 169.254.125.207 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 169.254.130.156 default via 172.18.3.254 dev eth0 So where the 169.* addresses can come from?
