I am trying to get a static ip for my nas but I can't run the commands.

 

Set Static IP Address

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.1.100

network 192.168.1.0

netmask 255.255.255.0

broadcast 192.168.1.255

gateway 192.168.1.1

dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8

There is only one command

 

You have to set the static ip in your dhcp server (i.e. most of the times your router)

I prefer vi to nano

[Flyguygamer]

I prefer vi to nano

Yes. why vi?

[MrSuperb]

Yes. why vi?

 

because it was the first editor I used with Linux

[MrSuperb]

Now it is working. I am just not sure what to do from here.

just put the right information in the text file

 

e.g. this:

iface eth0 inet staticaddress 192.168.1.100network 192.168.1.0netmask 255.255.255.0broadcast 192.168.1.255gateway 192.168.1.1dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8

that depends on your network though.

e.g.
