static IP on v5

[codestar02]

Hello,
I have been trying for some time to get a static IP address running on my TC version 5, but have not been able to do so.

I have tried the following inside /etc/network/interfaces :

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet static
address 10.3.99.8
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.3.99.0
broadcast 10.3.99.255
gateway 10.3.99.1


forgive me if the solution is staring me right in the face as I am still new to programming.

If someone could point me in the right direction it would be great, thanks!

Remove the remark brackets on line 3 & 4

Unfortunately when I take away the # on the auto eth0 and try to restart the network it fails,
That when I try to use ifconfig and check it is using eth1, but when I try to change everything to eth1 I get an "RTNETLINK : file already exists" error.

It seems I can't assign a static to eth0 or eth1 as this setup stands.

My ultimate goal is to connect to set static to 10.3.99.27 and connect to ip 10.3.99.8 only and have gateway of 0.0.0.0

This is my interfaces file, and it works with static IP.

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-domain mydomain.se
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.9 192.168.0.20 8.8.8.8
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0

wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

Sorry that don't work.
Is where a chance to change the settings. I don't want the raspberry in my DHCP-network.

Use the below and replace ip ranges as needed

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Remove the line that reads

iface eth0 inet dhcp

Add the following

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.6
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

This is once again causing problems on the new rpi-tc X

After setting the static address in /etc/network/interfaces do I need to reset the Ethernet on the pi?

I have it set as:

iface eth0 inet static
address 10.3.99.32
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.3.99.0
broadcast 10.3.99.254
gateway 10.3.99.1

[admin]

modify the interfaces (sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces) file:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.3.99.32
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.3.99.0
broadcast 10.3.99.254
gateway 10.3.99.1


then reboot
