I found the /etc/network/interfaces however, i cant figure out the syntax
or something, it tells me that "Don't seem to have all the variables for
eth0" when i do an ifup eth0
Ive tried:
iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(documentation said these where required, but also tried using gateway,
and network)
I also tried in this format
IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
NETMASK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
BROADCAST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
all attempts failed, so i tried ifup -i /etc/network/interfaces eth0
but no matter what i do, i still get that %^*#$*@#^%#@ error message.
