[Voyage-linux] eth1 won't go static

[Richard StClair]

Hi,

I'm running a 4501 with Voyage 2.2.3.

It works great.....running shorewall with two nics soho on eth0 on the 
inside with Internet on eth1.

The only thing is....I have to run dhcp on the outside. If I set the 
eth1 to a static IP it simply won't come up. Then I set it back to dhcp 
and it works fine.

I can't figure out why I can't set that eth1 to a static IP. Even if I 
don't load shorewall it does the same thing. So I don't think it has 
anything to do with my shorewall config.

I have no trouble setting eth0 to a static.

Here's my interfaces config:

stclair-soekris:/home/stclair# cd /etc/network
stclair-soekris:/etc/network# cat interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# eth0 inside lan
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.2.200
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       broadcast 192.168.2.255
       gateway 192.168.1.134

# eth1 wan internet

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
#iface eth1 inet static
#      address 192.168.1.134
#      netmask 255 255 255.0
#      broadcast 192.168.1.255
#      gateway 192.168.1.200
