Hello David, Thanks for that pointer. It's has become clearer after lots of missteps. I didn't have that IP address in the interfaces file to start with, so I had to add it with ip to get that interface up, and when I did put it in, I misplaced interfaces in /etc rather than /etc/network ... so I was tripped up a few times before I managed to get it all correctly working. Good now though. ben -- bnis@fastmail.fm On Sun, Dec 2, 2018, at 10:16 PM, David via luv-main wrote:

Hi Ben
The /etc/network/interfaces file already contains the IP address, so the usual way to bring that interface up & down on Debian at the command line would be to use the ifup and ifdown commands that you can obtain by installing the ifupdown package. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list luv-main@luv.asn.au https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
