Which entry do I need to remove from /etc/network/interfaces ?
my file version looks like this
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.0.0.0
broadcast 10.0.0.255
thanks Robert Fernando
