    [HowTo] Assign Static IP Address In Ubuntu Linux


    Via Terminal


    Open network configuration file


    Code
    $ sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces


    OR


    Code
    $ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces



    Find and remove dhcp entry:


    Code
    iface eth0 inet dhcp



    Append new network settings:



    Code
    iface eth0 inet static
 address 192.168.1.100
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 network 192.168.1.0
 broadcast 192.168.1.255
 gateway 192.168.1.254


    Save and close the file. Restart the network:


    Code
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart


    Via GUI


    To get started, go to System –> Preferences –> Network Connections.



    Then select Auth eth0 and click Edit.



    Next, select ‘IPv4 Settings’ tab, and choose ‘Manual’ for Method. Click ‘Add’ to add your IP address information. Also enter your DNS servers addresses in the field shown. When finish click Apply to save.


    I did it by reserving a network ip address for the mac address of my linux server in my router, and from what ive seen it differs quite a bit depending on what router you are using, therefore if people wanted to use this method they would have to look dhcp reservation for thier router manufacturer (I did it this way, as I have reserved ip addresses for my Dream Box and Duo also, makes life easier when they always have the same local address).

    Think I read that this way can cause problems when following tens tutorial . Think he said its better to go into router setting on pc and login and change ip that way .

    Depends on your circumstances, and reasons, the router method, varies for each different router manufacturer, but on the flip side, is platform independent, so regardless of whats on your network, using the router method will always be the same.

    i done it the router way this time but will bear it in mind. fancy giving me a hand on the rest of the ununto 64 oscam setup,im upto omnikey part,ill meet you on that thread.

    Perhaps you could take the time to actually thank people for the help you have already received if it was not for people like myself,thatfellow and many many others on the forum who have taken the time to help you would be stuck,all we ask is for a simple thanks in return.This forum is about helping others thats how i got started with the help of more experienced people and i will always be appreciative of that.

    Following Tens tutorials will never cause problems m8, Without Ten's help and guidance I think a lot of people on here would still be scratching their heads (especially me, Keep up the excellent work Ten)
    I just found setting the Static IP address within the router less problematic because I am relatively new to Linux.
