Notes

A partially annotated portion of /etc/network/interfaces (from "Re: [Blt-newuser] Debian and default gateway solution", 23 Jul 2002; Gary Turner (kk5st@swbellPLEASENOSPAM.net)):

# The loopback interface auto lo #auto means it starts at boot iface lo inet loopback

# LAN interface auto eth0 #ditto iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1

# Another interface # auto eth1
