Hi, After I reboot my Debian machine it does not assign an IP to eth0. It brings the interface up after a reboot, but does not set the IP on it! Running a cronjob every min to set the IP address is the only way to fix this, but why does it happen? Is this some sort of bug?
My interfaces file is as follows: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 172.16.0.30 netmask 255.255.0.0 allow-hotplug wlan1 iface wlan1 inet static wpa-ap-scan 1 wpa-scan-ssid 1 wpa-ssid connect wpa-psk linuxthefish address 192.168.43.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 Please can someone tell me why this happens? :( Thanks!
