I'm having some problems configuring a static IP on my ubuntu server. What is the easiest way to configure IP, netmask, nameserver and default gateway on eth0
?
I've tried modifying the /etc/network/interfaces
file but the interface goes down after reboot. I need to do this in CLI.
This is what the file looks like (without the comments):
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.16.61.4
netmask 255.255.255.192
nameserver 172.16.61.2
broadcast 172.16.61.63
EDIT: It seems to work now. However, nslookup doesn't find any matches at all. Local nslookups on the 2008 server running dns works.
