Ubuntu :: Static IP Address Cannot Be Set?
Apr 20, 2010
I have been fiddling around with my ip address configuration using several sources, and this is what I have in the /etc/network/interfaces file:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.122
broadcast 255.255.255.255
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
Yet, this is what I have in the ifconfig after I restarted the computer:
[Code].....
Could there be any mistakes I have made in the file? Why is it that I seem to have set a static ip address here and is not working?

Version 10.04 LTS. Installed desktop version and network worked but I needed a static IP address and the install configures for a DHCP configured address. I tried changing to static address using the System->Preferences->Network Connections application but was unable to get the system to come up with the network up.
So I manually modified the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. I restart the system but when I do an ifconfig, I don't see a configured IP address on eth0 (only the loopback address). If I run /sbin/ifup eth0 everything then works fine and ifconfig shows the correct address bound to eth0.
My files are as follows:

I got this message on Friday from just one domain. uote:mailsrv.forthnet.gr #<mailsrv.forthnet.gr #5.5.0 smtp; 554 5.5.0 Your message was considered to be spam by the FORTHnet Antispamming Policy and was not delivered to the recipient. The following spam tests returned positive for this message:FORGED_RCVD_HELO,RCVD_IN_BRBL. For further information visitWe are not a spamming community but it seems we have a statice IP address that has a Reverse lookup to "myipaddress.static.lyse.net" and not my email domain. Would setting a cname mail.mydomain.no -> myipaddress.static.lyse.net cure this problem or are there more tricks to be performedOnce I have cured the FORGED_RCVD_HELO I can move to getting the IP removed from BARACUDA.

I am trying to set up a static ip address. I am using the visual interface. The problem may be that I don't know what they mean by "DNS servers" the linksys says it is 0.0.0.0 but entering that doesn't help. It says "connected" on the "notification area" icon, but I have no internet. I have rebooted the computer and the router.I deleted Auto eth0 and when I added a new connection it is now "Wired connection 1". If I change it to "automatic DHCP" instead of manual, it works fine.What am I missing, I have easily been able to set static IPs on WinXP machines, I would think Ubuntu would be easier.

I have followed some instructions to change to a static ip address and have now lost my connection to my router. The mistake I made was not copying the original "interfaces" file before making changes.The file originally had: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet (something - I thought it was loopback but didn't work when I added it).
The instruction told me to put:
auto eth0
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 192.168.1.1
Which I did, using my own ip numbers, except for "broadcast". I didn't add that in because I didn't have a clue what to put there. When it didn't work, I tried putting it back to what I originally had except I can't rememebr that last bit. I added dhcp instead of what I thought it was but this didn't work either.

Recently, I've set up Ubuntu Server 9.10 x86_64 (no GUI). I have two NIC cards in this machine. One is a wireless card that I would like to set a static IP address to. The other is an integrated NIC. Everything works just fine when I have everything set up under DHCP. I can ping both NIC cards with no issues. But as soon as I change over to a static setting, things work unexpectedly...
Things to keep in mind:
-All machines are running under the same subnet
-All machines are connected to a wireless router (freshly flashed with the latest firmware)
-This is a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 9.10 x86_64
--Static IP address on the WIRED (eth0) NIC works great. No issues. Can ping from my wireless laptop, and can ping from the machine to the outside world (ping google.com) as well as the gateway itself with excellent response times.
If I then turn on the WIRESLESS (wlan0) NIC after setting up a static address for it in /etc/network/interfaces, then turning the wlan0 on by issuing "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up", wlan0 shows up, but does not have an IP address associated with it, even though I set it up as static. I also cannot ping wlan0 from my laptop. I assumed that was because I needed to restart the networking service. So after issuing "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", I am able to ping wlan0 from my laptop with no issues.
Here is where things get strange. Lets say that I physically pull the plug on eth0. After dong this, wlan0 stops responding to the ping request that was initiated by my laptop at the same exact time. If I plug the cable back in, both eth0 and wlan0 begin to respond once again. But soon after I try to SSH to wlan0, wlan0 decides that it no longer wants to respond to the ping. I should note that it does ask me for a username and a password, but after I entered my password, the ping stops responding. Why should the wlan0 be affected in any way if something happens to eth0?
This all started when I set the server up with only a static configuration on wlan0. It appeared to be working well. I was able to ping the machine from my laptop as well as SSH into the machine. I went to bed and the next morning, I was no longer able to ping the machine. I let the ping run for a small amount of time with a few responses here and there. Then after a little more time of letting ping run, it tends to respond. Almost like I bothered it enough to decide that it was appropriate to start working again.
Ideally, I would like to have ONLY a wireless connection. But if I need to have eth0 up, it would be great to have option work as well. Bottom line is that my wireless is flukey. And I would like to find out why.

I also want my Virtualbox to have port 95 open.

I was trying to assign the static IP address of my internet connection to my home server and managed to make a mess of it. I've configured the router to assign it the address every time but when I rebooted everything the server is cut off from the network completely (rather unfortunate with a headless server...). The only file I've edited on the server when trying to do this is /etc/network/interfaces, everything else network related is default. My intention in editing the file was to make the server accept the IP address assigned by the router since the router was already configured to assign the right one. I put in
Code: inet dhcp in the /etc/network/interfaces file, is that wrong? What is that line supposed to be?

I cannot get a static IP to work on Fedora 11. Using Network Manager, I set the IP to 192.168.1.130, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway to 192.168.1.0 but it doesn't work. I also tried 192.168.1.1 for the gateway, which is what I used in FC7 but still no luck. I verified that these are the settings that I used in FC7, I don't remember ever having a problem before with this.I do remember someone telling me not to use Network Manager in conjunction with Network Configuration... does that make sense? That was for FC9 on my laptop and it was for the wireless so perhaps that doesn't apply here. I did try unchecking the box for Network Manager and using strictly Network Configuration but it still didn't work.

Can't change from dhcp to static ip address.I've installed Oracle's version of Linux Redhat 5, but I'm having no success changing from dhcp to a static IP address. My machine is plugged directly into a Belkin router which has the IP address: 192.168.2.1.If I use the gui: /usr/bin/system-config-network and set the network device to dhcp,it works fine. But if I set the IP address manually, I get no internet traffic, and if I ping an internet website, "network unreachable".The installation instructions for Oracle say that they want a full domainname. I've tried gateway.2wire.net. This worked in the last place I did a successful installation.It was the address of my ATT router. If I plunked that into a browser, I got the router configuration.

My new line provider/ISP won't give me a static IP address - it's DHCP or nothing. Is there some trick I can use to allow myself to host a web page? I was thinking of getting a static address elsewhere, like at my sometime place of employment, and redirecting, but it just moves the problem downstream.Realistically, assume I leave my computer on and hardly ever reboot (CentOS is pretty stable), then will I typically keepthe same address for weeks or months at a time? If so, I could live with logging in to my registrar a few times a year to change the address, as bizarre as that would be

I am trying to find out if it is possible for me to have a static ip address with my 3G usb modem ? I am using gnome network manager in Ubuntu 10.04 but it there is no option for me there for a static IPV4 address. I know with a wireless or ethernet connection you would modify /et/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and/or /etc/network/interfaces. I don't think those two would do for a PPP connection. When I go to /etc/ppp/ I see no .conf file that I could modify.

I imagine that there is already a thread for setting up a static IP, but I haven't been able to find it yet, so here we go.I have recently installed Fedora 15 on home machine. I have a very simple home network. Belkin wireless router with Window and Linux systems. The router is setup to be DHCP server. Router is setup to have lease time = Forever. Even with this setup, my router is assigning different IP address for my linux machine every time I boot the machine. So I would like to setup a static IP on my Linux.From my research so far, I'm suppose to make some changes to the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. But I don't have this file in this folder. Should I just create this fil

Ubuntu was a good choice for free server O/S. I am currently downloading it. My ISP wants to bind my static IP to a MAC address of the device that will be making my connection for me. Should my server be behind my router or in front of it? I kinda wanted it to be the access point and be able to monitor the usage from all the terminals in my house. We have 4 other PC's, a laptop and a PS3. My server is a Acer Altos G530 with 3.2 Xeon Processor, 4 gb of ECC DDR,

How do I decide what IP address to enter in my config file when assigning a static IP. All of the instructions I can find say something like "of course you should modify the file according to your own settings." Should I just use the gateway and IP that returns from "iwconfig" and "route -nee"?
