Hi I,m installing Ubuntu server and I did use the HowTo The Perfect Setup Ubuntu 6.10 Server (Edgy Eft). When I'm change from DHCP to static IP the network dosn't work and the command /etc/init.d/networking restart says "Don't seem to be have all the variables for eth0/inet Failed to bring up eth0" . It was no problem with the card and network after the installation and when I was used DHCP. Is there anything more to do after the static configuration?
What's in /etc/networkk/interfaces? What network settings does your router use (network, netmask, gateway, etc.)?
#The loppback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback #Primary network interafces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static adress 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 All as it says in the manual HowTo
It must look as follows (the spaces in front of address, netmask, etc. are important!): Code: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1
