![]() Having to enter five lines in a text file (if the Pi were to die) is much easier than having to reconfigure every single DHCP reservation along with the other router settings I'd have to rebuild should the router die. I understand I could go through the process of DHCP reservations through my router, but from my perspective (at least using Wheezy) this process was much easier and more reliable, given that I've had a number of routers fail in the recent past. I'm no network guru, but based on what I've read - that should have resolved the issue.Īlso - I'm not sure why I need to explain the use of a static IP on a device (Raspberry Pi) that is easily used as a lightweight home server.but using a static IP isn't "dumb" in my opinion. After the network failure, I hooked it up directly to a monitor and tried adding /24 to the end of the IP address in the nf file (which didn't work) and also attempted adding a /255.255.255.0 in place of the CIDR notation, which also did not work. The CIDR address issue didn't seem to present a problem for my network connectivity prior to the last reboot that resulted in it failing. Thanks for the responses from (mostly) everyone, I've bailed completely on Jessie. I really appreciate what the Raspberry Pi team has done for the community and continues to do, but these types of changes need to be communicated in a more effective way. The amount of misinformation and confusion on the forums and other websites was unbelievable, not even considering the number of affected people. PLEASE for the sake of the community, when changes are made to the method of setting something as basic as a static IP address, PLEASE post a guide or at least some information on the forums or the Raspberry Pi website indicating what needs to be done. I've never been this frustrated with the official Raspberry Pi distros. Obviously your config will vary depending on your network setup, but this fixed it for me. Had to perform a full reinstall and run through a full re-configuring of my Raspberry Pi server to get it to work.Īfter reinstalling Jessie, I modified nothing aside from the /etc/nf file.Īdding the following to the bottom of the nf file immediately set my IP to a static address: What a waste of HOURS AND HOURS of time with no solutions provided by the people who made the changes. I tried probably six different methods of configuring my network settings using a variety of solutions from both these forums and other websites.īefore stating my solution, I want to say that this change - to use /etc/nf to configure network settings - is completely unnecessary. Problem is, I edited my files following this process this morning and it broke my network connectivity after a reboot.Īny ideas what is going on and/or what I'm missing? Thank you. Set static IP by entering your settings at the bottom of the file: My understanding is this is the new way of setting a static IP in Jessie: Many of the solutions I'm finding are reported to not work correctly in the threads themselves, and there seems to be a lot of misinformation out there about how to set a static IP on Jessie. I've been through the Raspbian forums and other websites for assistance, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive solution to or process of setting up a static IP on Jessie. Upon upgrading to Jessie, this method no longer works. In the previous releases, I was able to set a static IP without fail by editing /etc/network/interfaces and entering my static IP information (address, broadcast, netmask, etc). I'm using the latest build from the official Pi Foundation website, March 2016 version. I'm new to Jessie and have had a heck of a time setting a static IP address on my Raspberry Pi Jessie build. ![]()
