I have the following in my /etc/network/interfaces at the moment: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 146.232.129.30 netmask 255.255.254.0 gateway 146.232.128.16 dns-domain sun.ac.za dns-nameservers 146.232.20.10 146.232.20.11 146.232.128.10 metric 0 up ip addr add 146.232.129.151/32 dev $IFACE down ip addr del 146.232.129.151/32 dev $IFACE And I cannot stop my network. The following does not work: /etc/init.d/networking stop service networking stop /etc/init.d/ifplugd stop service ifplugd stop sudo ip addr del 146.232.129.151/32 dev eth0:0 sudo ip addr del 146.232.129.151/32 dev $IFACE Only with the following command can I stop the network: sudo ifconfig down Previously everything was easy: just '/etc/init.d/networking stop/start/reload' Regards Johann -- Johann Spies Telefoon: 021-808 4599 Informasietegnologie, Universiteit van Stellenbosch "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
