[Solved] Linux ip address help

[cndr]

I just updated ubuntu to 10.04 and was wonder how to change my ip address to 192.168.1.123, below my interface file, followed by the ifconfig results, anyone know what I did wrong?

/etc/network/interfaces

• auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  auto wlan0
  iface wlan0 inet static
  address 192.168.1.123
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 192.168.1.0
  broadcast 192.168.1.255
  gateway 192.168.1.1
  # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
  dns-nameservers 142.165.200.5

ifconfig results

• wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:4c:2f:2e:17
  inet addr:192.168.1.106 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

This is my interfaces

Code: Select all

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.9
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1

After you change your interface files, run this command

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

See if that does anything.
