Im trying to configure my network to have both a static IP and a DHCP IP
the system in question is ubuntu server 11.10 with only additional software being the LAMP bundle (web server) and OpenSSH.
I tried this configuration bellow with mixed success. sometimes i only get the DHCP IP and not the static one, and other times i get the static IP and not the DCHP one.
Am I doing something wrong with the configuration?
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
broadcast 192.168.0.255
