Re: WiFi static IP address, no /etc/interfaces [SOLVED]

[ocpaul20]

On my Debiandog there is nothing(much) in the /etc/network/interfaces file.
I am used to adding stuff to /etc/network/interfaces file and this is what all of the searches seem to do. However, obviously this way of doing things is no longer the right way.

In my /etc/network/interfaces file there is not much

Code: Select all

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

In my /etc/network/interfaces.d directory there is nothing

So, I look in my /etc/frisbee directory and I have a
dhcpcd.conf
frisbee.conf
interface
wpa_supplicant.conf

Where and how should I tell my system I want a static IP address for both the eth0 and wlan0 interfaces please?

Thanks
Paul

Hi ocpaul20, not sure if this helps, how I did was adding static IP for eth0 this way to /etc/frisbee/dhcpcd.conf:

Code: Select all

interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.53
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

Where 192.168.1.1 is the address of my router, probably yours is different.

Thanks Fred, I will give it a try and come back and report what happened.

So, using /etc/frisbee/wpa_supplicant.conf attaches to the WiFi router and using /etc/frisbee/dhcpcd.conf hands out the IP addresses
Yes, this seems to have fixed it. That's great. Thanks.
