Ok, something seems to be amiss:
I added info in /etc/network/intefaces auto eth0 iface etho inet static address 141.209.169.84 ...
Is the entry really valid?
Something like:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 141.209.169.84 gateway 141.209.169.1 broadcast 141.209.169.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
/etc/init.d/networking restart gives: Setting up IP sppofing prortection: rp_filter Enabling TCP/IP Syn cookies: done Reconfiguring network interfaces: SIOCDELRT: No such process ifup: interface lo already configured RTNETLINK: answers: cannot assign reauested address
- no other machine is using this adddress
- ifconfig reports address 169.254.123.93??
141.209.169.84 can be pinged
Could it be a problem with the script? I am able to reset interface to use dhcp using pump -i eth0
What kind of network card + driver are you using? Does 'rmmod ipv6' help? What's the output of 'ip addr show'? Does 'ifup -a' change anything?
