I have a fresh install of Server 14.04 running on an old Dell OptiPlex 755 MT. It automatically connects to my network and I can reach it through SSH without an issue. I also made sure to edit the /etc/network/interfaces
to add the auto eth0
and iface eth0 inet dhcp
, which I will set a static IP once I'm ready to place the server.
I run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
and install the 100+ updates available and reboot. When it comes back up, eth0
is no longer connected and I have to run
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
and dhclient to bring it back up each time. The /etc/network/interfaces
file still shows my eth0
information, but the OS doesn't seem to read it.
Is there a certain update from the initial set that is causing this? If so, which one is it so I can remove it? Apologies ahead of time, I'm fairly new to Linux and haven't been able to track down a solution.
/etc/network/interfaces
(other thatlo
andvirbr0
)?ifconfig
and also:cat /etc/network/interfaces
