with one more line: network 141.209.169.0

Intel Pro/100, driver is e100 (via lsmod)

ipv6 is not loaded

for eth0 last two line:
inet 169.254.123.93/16 scope link eth0
inet 141.209.169/84/24 brd 141.209.169.255 scope global eth0
  (the last line is corrct but is not shown by ifconfig eth0)

ifup: interface lo already configured
ifup: interface eth0 already configured

I also see problems with CUPS system (for adding a local printer)
# /etc/init.d/cupsys start
starts the daemon

I can connect to this server using URL: http://localhost:631/
as soon as add a printer is chosen, the server dies!

This is a dual PIII box.
