According to the instructions contained within /etc/network/interfaces, I am
supposed to "uncomment/adjust one of the following 4 options." I am running
a pppoe DSL connection, and I have *both* options 1.1 and 1.3 un-commented.
Is 1.1 unnecessary?
I guess I could try it and see what happens if I comment out 1.1, but I
thought I'd ask. Is there a man page for this file that explains all of the
options for this file?
Thanks,
George
(portion of etc/network/interfaces follows)
# Step 1: configure external interface
# uncomment/adjust one of the following 4 options
# Option 1.1 (default): eth0 / dynamic IP from pump/dhclient
auto eth0

#
# Option 1.2: eth0 / Fixed IP (assumed to be 1.2.3.4).
# (broadcast/gateway optional)
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet static
# address 1.2.3.4
# masklen 24
# broadcast 1.2.3.255
# gateway 1.2.3.1
#
# Option 1.3: PPP/PPPOE (modem connected to eth0)
