I once had something similar but for me the issue was cause by not having "auto eth1" in my /etc/network/interfaces file. After adding that ifup command worked. However since you already have this stance, it must be something else (duh i'm a real Sherlock here :)). Are you sure your dhcp is working? Since eth0 is active after adding a fixed ip, but not when an ip is requested via dhcp, dhcp might be the issue? Is the dhcpd daemon running? Is /etc/default/dhcp configured correctly? Nothing strange in /etc/dhcpd.conf? Regards, Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
