Thank you very much, that was exactly the problem. I didn't DD the
CF card, it was the same card so the file contained the addresses
from the other board. I removed the lines from the other machine
and updated the ones for this box to eth0 and 1, touched the
/etc/network/interfaces file and it came up just as happy as can
be on eth0. <br>
<br>
My guess was right but I had zero idea of where to look, so thanks
again. <br>

the problem is likely the same as I saw in the daily build when I
tested that a while back. The problem is most likely related to a
udev rule located at /etc/udev/rules.d/<br>
<br>
This can happen when the persistent-net.rules file gets copied
from one system to another. I'm going to guess you probably just
made an image of the CF using DD.<br>
<br>
This problem had shown up in some earlier releases as well but it
was usually taken care of by the time a stable release was made.
If you want you should be ble to delete the persistent-net.rules
file from /etc/udev/rules.d/ it should be named something like:
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules<br>

pretty new when it comes to using Voyage with an Alix board
but I thought I'd share something that I experienced that
perhaps someone can explain to me as I'm not a Linux guru
and know enough to be dangerous. :)<br>
<br>
A friend recently lent me his Alix box running Voyage MPD to
try out and asked that I create a new image on my own CF
card so as not to alter his network settings. This was not a
problem and it worked as expected including mounting an SMB
share on a Windows box where my music files currently live.
Everything worked great and I promptly ordered up an Alix
board and case.<br>
<br>
My surprise came when I put my existing CF card in the new
board and powered it up. Logging into the router I didn't
see it getting a dhcp address. Thinking perhaps I'd gotten a
bad board I dug through my old stuff and came up with a
couple of 9 pin serial cables and spliced them together this
morning to make a null modem cable so I could see if it was
alive or dead. The good news is that it was booting up just
fine but I noticed in the console messages that it was
renaming eth0 to eth3 and eth1 to eth2 and when it tried to
start eth0 and get a dhcp address, it received a device not
found error since eth0 no longer existed. I was able to edit
/etc/network/interfaces and change eth0 to eth3 and it
happily picked up an address which I then reserved in my
dhcp server. Everything works fine but I'm curious as why
this happened.<br>
<br>
My guess is that when I used the CF image on the other Alix
board it recorded the MAC addresses of the ports and it's
reassigning these so there is no conflict. This is a total
guess as I don't know enough about Linux to know but it was
the only thing I could think of that made sense. <br>
<br>
Any thoughts would be welcome so I can further my
understanding. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
