I have the latest version of Debian running on Linksys NSLU. I have it set for
a static IP and I've added a correct default gateway to my config and everything
works ok. However, when I reboot, it goes back to DHCP and the gateway route
doesn't stick. All the correct settings in the correct files but those settings
don't get read on reboot apparently. And if I do a restart of networking, the
correct settings get applied. What gives? Thanks.

How/where did you set the static IP?

Have you configured the DHCP server with the slugs IP. If not, DHCP
will not know that the slug's IP has been set.

man 5 dhcpd.conf see the examples for static leases.

On the Slug or server? If the dhcpd.conf setting are correct on the
server then it should assing the slug the IP you set it at

What correct setting on what, the slug?

You might want to take a deep breath and try giving us a better
idea of what you mean.

The static IP settings are in /etc/network/interfaces.

The slug actually is my DHCP server and is running DNSMASQ for that. The IP that
it comes up with is within range, but is an old one I used to have assigned to
it which makes me curious. I don't see why I would have to reserve an address
for it. Shouldn't Debian boot with the settings I specify regardless of what
the DHCP server says (in this case itself)? There are no conflicts with other
devices on the network. And when I check the leases file during the time that
the erroneous settings are applied, there is no listing for the address the slug
got. This tells me that it may be reverting to its old static settings and not
getting it from DHCP.

The interfaces setup is here:


# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255

Ok, I found it. Someone writing me directly in email pointed me to the right
place. I had a setting in rc.local that set the static IP. Now I remember
getting a tip to do that on a web posting somewhere. But I think it was a
generic tip and not one geared directly towards Debian so probably not the best
way to go about it. Everything works great now!
