Hi, 

  I have been fiddling around with my ip address configuration using several 
sources, and this is what I have in the /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.122 
broadcast 255.255.255.255  
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
gateway 192.168.1.254

Yet, this is what I have in the ifconfig after I restarted the computer:

al...@alice-laptop:~$ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:77:07:0b  
          inet addr:192.168.1.66  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe77:70b/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:710 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:741 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:333701 (333.7 KB)  TX bytes:192871 (192.8 KB)
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xd020 

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:480 (480.0 B)  TX bytes:480 (480.0 B)

Could there be any mistakes I have made in the file? Why is it that I seem to 
have set a static ip address here and is not working?
Thanks for your help.

Alice
