Errors with Ubuntu static IP, when restarting the computer
I have a PC with the ubuntu OS
I am having errors with setting a static IP.
I will set the static IP by editing the interfaces file to say:
Auto lo
Iface lo inet loopback
Auto eth0
Iface eth0 inet static
Address 10.66.30.101
Netmask 255.255.0.0
Broadcast 10.66.255.255
Gateway 10.66.30.1
The I restart the networking by, /etc/init.d/networking restart
That works with no errors,
Then I run the command /sbin/ifconfig to see if that changes took effect, that works without any problems
I'll have internet access
Then when I restart my PC, I no longer have internet access.
I also tried something I saw in a forum that said to run the command
Apt-get remove network-manager-gnome, then set the static ip, and it should work upon restart, but that didn't work either
Does anyone have any ideas or know the solution?
I also just tried setting an alias, I still have internet connectivity, but the alias didn't take, it still shows me as just the orig. ip,
I tried creating the alias by editing /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
I uncommented the alias section and filled it in to my requirements, so it looks like this
Alias {interface "eth0";
Fixed-address 10.66.30.101;
Option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0;}
Then restarted networking, no errors, but still no ip of 10.66.30.101
