Hi,

I believe that the problem is that there is a minor syntax error in the
configuration parameter. Specifically there should be two colons between
192.168.0.69 and 255.255.255.0 or between 192.168.0.42 and 192.168.0.69.

As it stands the settings are:

	my address	192.168.0.42
	server address	192.168.0.69
	gateway		255.255.255.0
	netmask		testhost
	hostname	eth0
	interface	none

I believe it is the interface=none that is killing any IP configuration
by the kernel as no such interface exists.
