Sujet: [DNG] Refracta have a static IP
Hi all,

I'm trying to make my new Chimera based Refracta have a static IP
address at 192.168.0.199/24, in order that every other computer on the
192.168.0.0/24 subnet can easily access it, and so I can put it on my
LAN DNS.

So I made my /etc/network/interfaces look like the following, which
follows the guidelines of "man interfaces":

=======================================
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.199
gateway 192.168.0.1
=======================================

Unfortunately, instead of the IP address being 192.168.0.199, it's a
DHCP supplied 192.168.0.204 . What additional steps must I take to get
my desired 192.168.0.199?

Additional note: When I used 192.168.0.40, which I KNOW is not in my
leased DHCP range, the result was the same. What must I do to get a
static IP at 192.168.0.199/24 ?

Thanks,

SteveT
