I am not 100% sure of how the network was configured (the guy who did it is away today) but can report that the contents of /etc/network/interfaces are:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
 address 134.36.22.69
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 gateway 134.36.22.1

So it should be a simple static IP address configured there. While it should not matter, it is maybe worth mentioning that the PC has two Ethernet ports, though we are only using one of them for this.

Is there a log somewhere showing the start-up order actually used when it boots up?
