Can't read interfaces file

[kbow]

Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening ? Anytime I try to do anything that needs to read the interfaces file I am getting these errors.


kwaters@kwaters-laptop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[sudo] password for user:
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... /etc/network/interfaces:28: too few parameters for iface line
ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
/etc/network/interfaces:28: too few parameters for iface line
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"


Looks like read is on the file

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 323 2008-05-23 11:51 interfaces

Can you post /etc/network/interfaces? Apparently something's amiss inside.

Ok -

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp






I use nano to edit - FYI

Hmmm... looks kosher. Here's mine:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
#iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0
#iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp


iface eth0 inet dhcp

kbow-
Are you sure that's the whole entire file?. Also, may I please see:

ls -l /etc/network | grep interfaces

Let's make sure we don't accidently have 2 or 3 files.

Problem on line 28??
