    Re: Set Static IP In Ubuntu 9.10

    This is quiet simple thing to set the static or dynamic ie. automatic IP. If you want to set static IP in Ubuntu 9.10 then use the steps below:
    Consider that you have to use the 10.0.0.7 as your Static IP on your eth0, then you need to use the command below:
    Code:
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 10.0.0.7
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    If you want to set Dynamic IP in Ubuntu 9.10 then use the steps below:
    Use the commands as below:
    Code:
    auto eth1
    iface eth1 inet dhcp
    sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
    to take changes in consideration.

    Re: Set Static IP In Ubuntu 9.10

    Hello, Basically I don't get your question properly. If I am not wrong then you want Ubuntu 9.10 which is set to use DHCP to change it to a static IP address. Use the steps below to achieve this:

    Open the interface and then type the command below:
    Code:
    sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
    Now as mostly DHCP is used for your primary network card which is eth0, you will see the following lines:
    Code:
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    Now set the setting as below by typing the command and restart your network service.
    Code:
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.7
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.1.0
    broadcast 192.168.1.255
    gateway 192.168.1.1

    Hello, I am having problem with my static ip. I am also user of Ubuntu 9.10 and if I look at my interfaces file, It is as below:

    The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    The primary network interface
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.8
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    broadcast 192.168.1.255
    gateway 192.168.1.254
    What is the reason exactly. I am not getting my network connection. How to solve this problem.

    What's wrong with :
    System -
    Preferences -
    Network Connections -
    click on -Auto ethe0-
    then [Edit]
    Change Method to Manual
    and fill out the data ?

    Not every one feels COMMAND LINE is their friend.
