/etc/network/interfaces strange behaviour

[Mario Spinthiras]

Hey all,

The interfaces file looks like this:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.100.195
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 192.168.100.254
	network 192.168.100.0
	broadcast 192.168.100.255
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
	address 172.16.68.41
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	network 172.16.68.0
	broadcast 172.16.68.255
	


Ive done this a billion times. I cannot count how many times Ive setup
machines like these with no issue whatsoever. The leases file seems
empty. I do not have NetworkManager installed. The machine is a Hardy
64Bit server ed.

Regards,
Mario
