Such a simple solution. My /etc/network/interfaces file now looks like:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp pre-up ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx address 192.168.1.1 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
Thank you Carl, Xavier.
Love Debian!!
