Hi, I tried to setup a static IP address for the board I have here using directly /etc/network/interfaces but I always fail without being able to identify where the network doesn't take this file into account.
Here is my /etc/network/interfaces:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# Wireless interfaces
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_essid any
wpa-driver wext
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface tiwlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_essid any
iface atml0 inet dhcp
# Wired or wireless interfaces
iface eth0
inet static
address 10.129.56.17
netmask 255.255.255.192
gateway 10.129.56.1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
iface eth2 inet dhcp
iface eth3 inet dhcp
iface eth4 inet dhcp
# Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
# ... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
iface usb0 inet dhcp
# Bluetooth networking
iface bnep0 inet dhcp
The static part only is about eth0 and we had before a DHCP server to handle the IPs for us. I tried to:
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down $ sudo ifconfig eth0 up
but it didn't change much, letting me think that maybe there is another file the network uses prior to /etc/network/interfaces maybe?
