I've recently created a VM running ubuntu server 12.04. I've configured the networking with a static IP. For some reason the networking says " networking stop/waiting". I then manually input the IP with the netmask as well at the default gateway and then issue a "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" and the network comes up and I am able to ping the gateway as well as the outside. Unfortunately this doesn't stay and eventually it disconnects from the network and changes my IP .
my /etc/network/interfaces is configured as follows #The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback #the primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x gateway x.x.x.x Is there a reason why the server is changing the network as if its set to dhcp when i set the interface statically? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663352 Title: No way to stop/start networking without network management To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/663352/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
