Interfaces menu doesn't change interface values

[danson.joseph@…]

Hi, I installed ebox and it did an automatic dhcp request. Once installed, I needed to change the interface to a static address. A change in the web front-end didn't affect a change in the system. On restart, the machine still booted in as a dhcp system, even though the web front end showed a static configuration.

Hi Jason,

Could you please try the following?

Edit your /etc/network/interfaces file and comment out any reference to the network interfaces you have configured in eBox.

# iface eth0 inet dhcp # iface eth1 inet dhcp

Reboot again and tell me if everything is working now. I think there is an issue in the way we bring interfaces down before eBox takes over the network configuration.

If you could try what I've just said it would be very helpful to confirm that.

Thanks a lot

We have changed this in the last 0.11.100 release.

Now, we overwrite /etc/network/interfaces, instead of using a temporary file to configure the interfaces. This solves the issue you reported.
