I have a home server set up as my internet gateway. IP fowarding and such is working fine, but for some reason the server keeps grabbing a DHCP address instead of sticking with the static address I have set up in /etc/network/interfaces
. eth1
keeps switching over to a DHCP address (sort of oddly.. assigned by the DHCP server running on itself).
My first thought was Network Manager, but it doesn't seem to be installed.
Here's my interfaces
file:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# External interface to the outside world
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules
# Our local network, we're the DHCP server
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
Are there any other utilities installed by default that might be resetting the network interface?
