good idea to bring up the interface
|
| Aug 27, 2009 at 19:04 | comment | added | Dave McClelland | Don't bother trying to decipher the file in the comment. I edited my OP and added the interfaces file | |
| Aug 27, 2009 at 19:00 | comment | added | Dave McClelland | I know this shouldn't be so complicated, but the following isn't working: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0:0 inet static address 10.0.0.100 network 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 gateway 10.0.0.1 After I edit the file, I run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, but the new interface does not show up. Any thoughts? | |

add virtual/alias interface
|
| Aug 27, 2009 at 18:32 | comment | added | Dave McClelland | With this, will I also be able to use the automatic interfaces that detect what network I'm on and set up proper internet access as well as keep the alias that I set up? | |
