Hi guys,
I would like to have a static ip on my ubuntu server. Tried severall things but with no success.
If changed the following /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.90
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
If i restart the pc an i check with: ifconfig, i see the pc has ip 192.168.1.90 assigned, but internet is not working!!!!!
When i have eth0 set to DHCP, internet is working 100%.
What am i doing wrong....??
where is your introduction post?
Introductions
sorry for that.
Done!
i think most people set it static in the router .was the way i set mine static in my server
where can i find that option in the router? What is the name in te setup?
I have a huawei HG655d
This should be helpful mate
h**p://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm
Just replace the ** with tt
hi thearm
I dont think it will as portforward wil only direct it towards his IP addy
its the internal ip he needs static (i think thats what he means) LOL
Not sure on that router mine its in advanced settings/ homenetwork/devices and clic on the device and make it always use this ip address for this device
not so on all routers
not so on all routers
was just an idea it does have an advanced settings tab in that router and you dont see the option to set an internal ip address as static unless you clic on the device then you see the option ,every little helps clubcards in the post lol
i still have problems if i follow the link above.
I still do not get the ip assigned that i have put in.
This is with static ip: (working 100%!!!!!!!!!)
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1c:23:27:56:06

If i do:
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
i get the following:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
I change it to the following:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.87 (example)
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
I save this and do the following in terminal:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
I get the foillowing message:
* Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Failed to bring up eth0.
Even if i reboot manually i does not work.
What am i doing wrong???
I am also not sure of my network ip link 192.168.1.0?????? Where do i check this?
Also my gateway i am not sure. If i do ipconfig om my windows pc the standard gateway is 192.168.1.1. So i suppose it's this the one.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
i notice if i peform in terminal "sudo ifdown eth0", and afterwards "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", the internet is working!!!!! BUTTTT, if i restart the server, my internet is down again.
If i do "sudo gedit /etc/resolv/conf", there is no nameserver. Default it was 192.168.1.1

Are you using an virtual machine ?
try set address and broadcast same number
i am using a laptop with ubuntu 12.04 lts.
I will try the advice from herr flick and will let you guys know.
Do you mean this?
address 192.168.1.87 (example)
broadcast 192.168.1.87
Connect a windows laptop to your router and go start then in in the command line type ipconfig /all
That should give you all the settings you need m8
IE: for VM
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.?
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.4.100
gateway 192.168.0.1
For $ly
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.?
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.1
gateway 192.168.0.1

yes try that maybe helps
I have tried you guys advice but with no success.
option 1: i have used the same address and broadcast ip (ex. 192.168.1.89)
The pc restarts without any problem, but my internet is not working.
option 2: i have used the same broadcast and gateway ip address (192.168.1.1).
The pc does not startup correct. I metions a network issue: waiting for 60 more seconds to configure the network....
No internet of course
Any more ideas???
