Herewith a correctly formatted /etc/network/interfaces for an eth0
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.115
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 62.31.176.39 195.188.53.113 195.188.53.114
and the corresponding /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.1.1
[resolvconf was previously installed, I think - in any event, the
dns-nameservers line points to my ISP's nameservers here and the single
nameserver line points to my current network gateway]
This also works
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# The loopback network interface
auto lo

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.115
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
and
nameserver 195.188.53.114
nameserver 195.188.53.113
nameserver 194.168.4.100
where the /etc/resolv.conf has a direct reference to three of the ISPs
nameservers - if one goes, then the next one is tried: the
/etc/network/interfaces no longer has the reference to dns-nameservers
and /etc/resolv.conf
Glad to hear that you upgraded to Lenny: use the above files as a
reference if it helps,
All the best,
