I am trying to configure my debian 6 machine to use DHCP. I have modified the /etc/network/interfaces to only contain:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

But when I reboot it hang at NFS Common utilities: statd . After around 5 minutes comes to the login screen, any ideas?

/etc/network/interfaces to only contain:

You need the loopback interface. Do not remove it. Many pieces of software absolutely require it to operate correctly.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

  • So do I need both eth0 and lo? I did try to specify only lo but then I could not SSH to the machine- – u123 Sep 12 '13 at 17:29
