How to make ip Address static (eth0)












10















I'm having a really hard time configuring ubuntu 13.04 to have a static ip address. I have tried multiple solutions but everytime I reboot (can't do the network reset command because ubuntu freezes) I end up with no connection.



Here is what I get when i type ifconfig into the terminal:



eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 10:bf:48:bc:07:cb  
inet addr:192.168.0.8 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::12bf:48ff:febc:7cb/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1763067 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1024326 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:2284491220 (2.2 GB) TX bytes:136809317 (136.8 MB)

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1
RX packets:1840 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1840 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:185688 (185.6 KB) TX bytes:185688 (185.6 KB)


I have also tried this:



auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.160
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 24.222.0.94
dns-nameservers 24.222.0.95


If anyone could help me it would be very much appreciated.

  • Which IP are you trying to get static? And are you using NetworkManager at all?

  • @Qasim - Removing networkmanager is not a solution. I prefer wicd myself, but it's still not a solution. It could break loads of things to just rip it out. It's a lot like saying, just remove dnsmasq if you want old style DNS management. It could work, but it's not fixing the problem.

Follow these steps to make the IP address of a system static:




  1. Open interface file (sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces)


  2. Look for



    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp



  3. Replace the above commands with



    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.100(Enter desired ip here)
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.1.0
    broadcast 192.168.1.255
    gateway 192.168.1.1



  4. Then enter



    sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0
