I'm running kubuntu 9.10 and every time I log in auto eth0 is used instead of my custom connection called "batnet". I have batnet set to automatically connect, but despite this it is ignored and the default auto eth0 is used instead. This would be fine IF I could somehow figure out how to define a static ip for auto eth0. I would prefer to just make the 'batnet' connection default. How can I do this?
Answer
For static assignment on Debian-based systems, you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces
.
example:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 208.88.34.106
netmask 255.255.255.248
broadcast 208.88.34.111
network 208.88.34.104
gateway 208.88.34.110
to change it back to DHCP:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
