Hi Jason: Thanks for your great help. But even auot eth0 is added, the network still could not come up automatically.
And my USB file system is FAT32 R/W. I am not sure what the file system is for the on board flash. I agree with you that this should be a filesystem problem. I think this problem is popped up only when the OS is crashed for a few times. But this problem could not be fixed even I update the Uboot and the image on the Roach board. Is there anyway I can erase all the on board flash and reprogram them again?

This is probably a problem with your filesystem. Are you using an NFS filesystem? is it mounted R/W, or Read-only? BTW, now that I've seen your interfaces file, I suspect the reason your interface is not coming up automatically is because you've left out the "auto eth0" line... auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.36 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 Jason On 22 May 2009, at 07:40, <[email protected]> <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi: > > In order to set a static IP address to roach Ethernet port, I insert > the following configuration to the /etc/network/interfaces: > > iface eth0 inet static > address 130.155.199.211 > netmask 255.255.240.0 > gateway 130.155.192.2 > dns-nameservers 130.155.194.32 130.155.192.40 > > Then I > > ifdown eth0 > ifup eth0 > > So the Ethernet port works properly. > > But when I restart the Roach, I could not run ifdown and ifup > command anymore.
