Comment on Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction"

  How you set it can vary depending on what you’re running. Linux is all about choice, and choice means multiple ways to do a thing. Places to look:

  • raspi-config - catchall CLI tool on Raspbian, not sure if it covers both of the following, but it’s a good option to start with
  • /etc/network/interfaces - the Debian way to do things
  • Network Manager - usually used for desktops, but can be used by servers; if the first two don’t work, try this

  But you could also have installed something different. If you post your OS and version and what you’re running on it, I can give better advice.

  That said, normal networking rules apply:

  • don’t set a static lease in your DHCP range, or you could get conflicts, which can look like it’s not working
  • consider using DHCP and setting the static lease through your router; use the MAC address and you’ll never need to mess with network settings on the Pi
  • if you set on the pi, make sure everything is correct (netmask, gateway, interface)

    I will remember it for next time I need to set a static IP in Linux. Comment is saved and hopefully I can reference it.

    I appreciate the effort you took to help me and anyone that is still looking for help :)

      No worries. Hopefully you have things sorted.

  If you can I would set static IPs from the router though. That’s what I do as another device can still take the IP and cause issues.

    Too bad when the DHCP server is down with the proxmox host ;)

    At least set it outside your DHCP range.

    I have my DHCP set to use from .100 and up, and my static addressee are in the .1-99 range.

    I still set it through my router so I have a place to look up which one is which (they’re piling up), but they’re all in that range.
