I have been configuring this server and thought I had set the static IP by configuring /etc/network/interfaces: Code: # 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 dhcp address 192.168.1.199 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 But when I restart the nework, the IP is still assigned via DHCP. Is there something else I should be doing?
Code: # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet [B]dhcp[/B] address 192.168.1.199 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 Change the dhcp to static.
Thanks, ralic! I knew something simple was standing in my way. I've been pushing myself to learn in so many different directions that I seem to be missing simple things. Perhaps tis time to slow down a little!
