Hi all, I'm trying to make my new Chimera based Refracta have a static IP address at 192.168.0.199/24, in order that every other computer on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet can easily access it, and so I can put it on my LAN DNS.
So I made my /etc/network/interfaces look like the following, which follows the guidelines of "man interfaces": ======================================= auto lo iface lo inet loopback allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.199 gateway 192.168.0.1 ======================================= Unfortunately, instead of the IP address being 192.168.0.199, it's a DHCP supplied 192.168.0.204 . What additional steps must I take to get my desired 192.168.0.199? Additional note: When I used 192.168.0.40, which I KNOW is not in my leased DHCP range, the result was the same. What must I do to get a static IP at 192.168.0.199/24 ?
