Ok, I set my static IP and it works perfectly.

If I reboot the system, it revers to a dynamic IP ..

here is the confg script.. (I don't know if this is the right script for this or not..)


root@box_10:/etc/network# cat interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(, ifdown(

# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback




iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.100.55
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.100.0
broadcast 192.168.100.255
gateway 192.168.100.1










what can I do ?

HELP !


(If I try this command: ifdown, then ifup... I get the static IP that is set in the interfaces file... )
