'man interfaces' will tell all, but to save you the trouble, my config looks like:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.200.251 netmask 255.255.255.0 dns-search int.sbss.com.au dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1 iface eth0 inet6 static address xxx:yyyy:zzzz:0::1 netmask 64 This is a router, which is why it has a static ip address. In most cases this won't be required as auto-configuration will take care of it, which is probably why this problem hasn't come up before.
