I looked around and found this is an old issue http://forum.linuxmce.com/index.php?topic=1281.0

The problem is that it tries to use the same ip address as my server 192.168.2.1. To stop this at the point where it asks if I want to run a dhcp server I selected no and left the ip setting to 192.168.80. It is still not working though. How can I can stop eth0:0 being created or at least set it to have a sane ip address?

I know I only have one networking card, thats all I installed.

For some reason known only to itself, linuxmce always creates this(eth0:0) which promptly stops all networking and causes the install to fail.

At the start of the install linuxmce asks me if my networking information is correct. It is and I tell it to continue. Later it asks if I want to run a DHCP server. I already have a server doing that for my network so I say no. A console window then appears and packages start being fetched and installed. It is at this point linuxmce decides its had enough of a working network connection and promptly disables it by adding a reference to eth0:0 in /etc/network/interfaces.

Why does it do this and how can I stop it?
