So you probably should set it to static.  To do that do the following:
 
Comment out the "iface enp2s0 inet dhcp" line by adding a hash in front of it.  Underneath it add the following lines:
iface enp2s0 inet static
address 192.168.0.9  # or whatever static IP you want.  Ensure that it's not one that is part of your DHCP scope
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
 
In your /etc/resolv.conf file ensure you have your name servers identified like the following example:
search localdomain # or whatever your local name suffix is
nameserver 8.8.8.8 # google DNS
nameserver 8.8.4.4
 
Now you can't just access it by it's computer name, that's what I meant by name resolution.  You need a way to translate the name into an IP address.  IMO I would just use pure IP addresses in your setup to start.  Read up on "HOSTS files" which are just text files that sit in /etc/hosts for *NIX machines and c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows machines.  HOSTS files basically tell the client for a certain name map to a certain IP.  Okay for testing but other than that they are pure evil and pain to manage.  DNS is more elegant but again requires additional skills and complexity.  Windows machines talk to each other natively due to the fact they uses NetBIOS. You can use that on Linux as well but I generally steer away from it for various reasons.
 
Hope this helps  
 
 

That's what the webmin is for on the Ubuntu server;
 
You will be able to use your browser to manage it (let me set it up in a VM in a second, give me a second to install Ubuntu and webmin and Ill show you what I was talking about!)
 
Commands used to install webmin:
 
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.820_all.deb
apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg --install webmin_1.820_all.deb
if still not working I recommend running this command again: sudo apt-get -f install
 
After entering those commands you should webmin installed on your machine, I'm no expert in Linux too but that is how I got there (yes I am somewhat learning as I go too ;D )
 
now try to reach the webmin interface by going to the IP of the machine (if it is hooked up to the network ofcourse)
be sure to use the right port (10000), else nothing will happen. 
 
-> to find out the IP of the machine simply type ifconfig:

 
Address to go to:
 
https://[address of Ubuntu machine]:10000
 
Another video demonstration (as they take little effort to make and can clear up things a lot!)
 
Separate post as this got me a better result than I expected, and is worth the final answering post!
 
 

There are some problems with the VM I am running (I really limited the hardware resources it can use, but here are some of the performance results:)
(in the beginning I am giving myself write access, because that is not on by default and I didn't yet cover that!)
 
this took really long to record as issues with the recording kept happening
 
 
 
The other video is done processing, so in this thread I basically explained how to set it up ;D (and learned it myself)
 
I'm low-key super proud that I managed to do this :>
 
 

Can barely believe what I just donedid
 
I made it work :OOOOOOO
 
 
(200Mbit up }: D, YouTube is still processing it but here it is:)
 
 
 

thats awesome i'll get on it as soon as i can thanks for the help, and the videos are a mega plus

And the current system only makes it easier for countries like the US to take control ... oh wait, they already have control. For the Non-Americans of the world, this is not desirable, with your NSA and other shit.
 
No offense, but America doesn't deserve to be in charge of the Internet.

next up: UK government sues British Telecom plc for leaving line faults for 5+ months + a service 3x slower than the promised one

i wonder how its ment to charge faster than a 'standard' cable

Andriods (AFAIK) charge faster on PC's than Macs and the opposite is (definitely) true for iPhones. You can get cables that aim to rectify that issue, as for HOW? Only Santa Claus knows.

Slightly off topic but these are worth watching: 
 
 
 

i stay the whole day on my laptop and sleep like 8 hours a day
 
this is kinda worrying
by these estimates if i dont use my laptop i could be in a coma .....

Please Europe! You make stupid laws, but please save us from simtray less phones!

well if they are merging then they might of had a surplus of people in the testing division for this unified windows team

I like windows 8.... I thought it was a step in the right direction, exsept when they made it so you went right to the desktop instead of the start menue, and making it hard to find somethings when trying to troubleshoot.

They jumped on a trend called facebook and it became an industry.

interesting
 
 
there is this one guy in england  (little wind not sun    )  who has a big battery  in the basement
what he does is charge it at night when the electricity is cheap and use the battery in the morning
saved him quite a bit of money

I do believe I have run into some very bad luck. 
 
My first build took me three years to complete, and now that it is finished it is not eligible for builds of the week because I completed it 12 days to early...... 
 
Dam you universe!!!! Why have you forsaken me????
 
If only I had waited.

The cat project is unlikely to be resurrected unless I start breeding exotic cats (something I do want to do when I get older)...

This isn't news, this is a DIY method of reflowing solder, this has been common practice for years. The Nvidia 9000 and 8000 series were well known for these fixes, as are HP DV laptops. 

might get a new mousemat now

lol Logitech Logitech Logitech and boom Steelseries.
