Hello Steve, Thanks. It doesn't appear that the /etc/network/interfaces file is being used. It is there but the server starts without a functioning network... The interfaces file looks to be complete but just doesn't work. I have removed the network applet but that hasn't changed anything...
As a matter of fact, the Ubnuntu box I'm sitting in front of right now with a static connection has an virtually empty /etc/network/interfaces file. All if has in it is: auto lo iface lo inet loopback That's it.. I wonder where the ip, gateway and other info is stored? Right now the clients work, so things are temporarily ok.
