All I have in /etc/network/interfaces.d/interfaces is: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback For my desktop computer, in Network Manager, for my SSID in IPV4 settings: Address: 192.169.1.215 Netmask: 24 Gateway: 192.168.254 Of course your actual machine address and gateway address will vary. I do also assign my network's static IPs and corresponding MAC addresses in my Router's Static ARP table. In general anything fixed at home (desktop, mail server, printer, smart tvs, chromecast, roku, WAP, etc) has a static IP and portable devices (phones, tablets, cameras, etc) has a dynamic IP. -- Marjorie _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
