Thanks, all. Yes, I know how to do this from the GUI (we've got seven of these in the field, all on Windows networks, none providing DHCP). I need to do this via the CLI because I don't want to connect it to the network and start issuing conflicting DHCP addresses. Since it is on our VM host, I als

James, Yes, editing the gui.network.conf file would be best, if that exists. If it's not there, using user.conf is recommended. I will admit that a setting in user.conf would over-ride anything in gui.foo.conf since the rc.conf file is generated in alpha-numerical order from the files in /mnt

True - my comment about stopping dnsmasq was meant as a temporary stopgap solution so he could plug it in to the network without worrying about the box responding to DHCP requests. IE: stop dnsmasq, plug in network cable, assign IP, access web interface to make permanent changes - not as a permanen

Tom, This is a feature that we implemented for that very reason. I installed AstLinux on a network that had a Windows DHCP server. A Windows network works much better if it's allow to do DHCP. In the rc.conf (/mnt/kd/rc.conf if you have a single file, or /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf if using

Tom, Assuming you have CLI access to the system, you can temporarily shutdown the dnsmasq service: *service dnsmasq stop* That will shutdown both the DNS and DHCP server process. If you want to disable it persistent across reboots, you could edit the gui.network.conf file in /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d an
