I’m trying to get this work, but when I want to change the interfaces file, nano says it can’t save the changes, because /etc/network/interfaces doesn’t exist?
I am as noob as a quaker on Mardi Grass, so any help would be welcome…

I’m curious about the 252 in the netmask:
netmask 255.255.252.0

@egd, I haven’t done this, nor do I have a machine to test it on, however, I would setup eth0 as static just like I have shown and then setup eth1 to be: iface eth1 inet DHCP

How would you go about this in the case of two nicks, eth0 and eth1, where eth0 needs to be static (internal network) and eth1 dynamic assigned by broadband router?

Thanks for this! Just one quick thing: I’m lazy and like to copy-and-paste code blocks so I noticed your code for editing the interfaces file has a spelling error: inferfaces instead of interfaces.
