Hi, I am new to Linux. I am trying to set up Ubunto server 8.10 to act as a web server and an ftp server, using the howto in the title of this message. The first problem that i have encountered is; nano /etc/networking/interfaces. When nano opens nothing is shown in the box? is this correct. However when I check connected devices on my router it shows Ubuntu on 192.168.2.4. I wish to change the DHCP ip to static. 192.168.2.99 If i write the information into nano; how and where do i save it too.
Thanks for your help it all makes sense now. However the howto that my original message refers to shows; etc\networking\interfaces. Maybe someone should correct the howto.
