Network settings are lost after server reboots
You are probably using something other than networking
to manage your networking, such as NetworkManager
, which uses different configuration files. You have two good choices. You can fully switch over to NetworkManager and configure things there. Or you can switch over to networking
by disabling the NetworkManager
service and making sure networking
is set to run on startup.

I have installed debian on my old computer and assigned a static IP address to it through
/etc/network/interfaces
.However when I boot my server the settings in the interfaces file are lost.
Only when I restart networking interfaces using
/etc/init.d/networking restart
, the settings are loaded. They don't load automatically on server boot up. What's the problem?My interfaces file is like this
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.42 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
