I don't know how to use a static IP address on a Debian machine. Can anyone help?
I have the static IP address 83.222.248.100.
This is what I've tried:
$ cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bak
$ sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
And replaced:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
with the following text:
iface eth0 inet static
address 83.222.248.100
gateway 83.222.248.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 83.222.248.0
broadcast 83.222.248.255
(NB: I have no idea if those gateway/network/broadcast addresses are correct - can anyone advise?)
When I restart networking:
$ /etc/init.d/networking restart
I see:
Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces ... (warning).
Reconfiguring network interfaces...SIOCDELRT: No such process
And it hangs forever.
Can anyone help?
