routing problem

[Stephen]

Hi,


Here is my /etc/network/interfaces
------snip------
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.47.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.47.0
broadcast 192.168.47.255
gateway 81.8.15.253
-----snip----

Questions:
1) Is my /etc/network/interfaces wrong configured?
2) What are the relevant scripts to inspect for bugs?
3) Are the scripts original Debian or Knoppix modified? (To whom report errors?)
4) Is there a convenient way/utility to switch per "click" between different network configurations (@home, @office, @wlan, @dhcp ...)?

TIA

1) Yes see the changes I made above.
2) There are no bugs you put the settings in incorrectly.
3) See answer to 2 for errors and that is a standard file to both.
4) Yes you can have different stanzas in the /etc/network/interfaces for different connections you should take a look at man interfaces and maybe a search of the Debian user mailing list is in order I have seen a few post on there on this topic.
