If any one knows how to stop my network adapter jumping from wired mode – where I set the IP address manually to automatic configuration, I would very much appreciate it. The box was up but it had swapped to the auto mode, which in turn changed the ip and thus no external connection was coming in.
If Your Ubuntu System has set to use DHCP, you will want to change it to a static IP address here is simple tip
open the /etc/network/interfaces file.
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
If you are using DHCP for your primary network card which is usually eth0, you will see the following lines
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
As you can see, it’s using DHCP right now. We are going to change dhcp to static, and then there are a number of options that should add and here is the example and you can change these settings according to your network settings.
To stop it from starting the network manager again?
I’m sure it is an issue with the network manager rather than anything else. When I got home the servers were all still running and the bots had been continuing to pillage each other in Smokin Guns
But I believe there’s a GUI for controlling services. It will be named “Services” or “System Services” or something. Someone with Gnome/Ubuntu should be able to tell you. You can start and stop services, as well as set them to enable/disable on boot.
Every time my wife wants to use the internet on her phone and it doesn’t work, she restarts the router and then surprise surprise the server swaps IP addresses, now I haven’t looked in to it to much but I fully suspect that the issue is that the server IP address I am using, is for some reason being DHCP assigned to her phone. When I switch the server back to the fixed IP her phone stops working.
So I see 2 options.
1) No wife at home using the internet on her phone
2) Work out how to assign the server an IP address which doesn’t also get leased via DHCP
3) Fix the linux control pannel so it never defaults to “Auto”

Freaking Automatic Connection Again

Change Ubuntu System from DHCP to a Static IP Address
Here you go HP
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-...
If Your Ubuntu System has set to use DHCP, you will want to change it to a static IP address here is simple tip
open the /etc/network/interfaces file.
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
If you are using DHCP for your primary network card which is usually eth0, you will see the following lines
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
As you can see, it’s using DHCP right now. We are going to change dhcp to static, and then there are a number of options that should add and here is the example and you can change these settings according to your network settings.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
Restart the neworking service using the following command
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
Nearly
Because HP installed the “Desktop” version of Ubuntu, as opposed to the “Server” version, this won’t quite work.
The only difference is the “Desktop” version uses NetworkManager by default. To stop this:
This will kill network manager, and use traditional networking for which the instructions above hold true.
Do I need to do anything
To stop it from starting the network manager again?
I’m sure it is an issue with the network manager rather than anything else. When I got home the servers were all still running and the bots had been continuing to pillage each other in Smokin Guns
Service control panel
I’m tempted to give you more shell commands ;)
But I believe there’s a GUI for controlling services. It will be named “Services” or “System Services” or something. Someone with Gnome/Ubuntu should be able to tell you. You can start and stop services, as well as set them to enable/disable on boot.
I think I have found the cause of why it's happening more often
Every time my wife wants to use the internet on her phone and it doesn’t work, she restarts the router and then surprise surprise the server swaps IP addresses, now I haven’t looked in to it to much but I fully suspect that the issue is that the server IP address I am using, is for some reason being DHCP assigned to her phone.

2) Work out how to assign the server an IP address which doesn’t also get leased via DHCP
3) Fix the linux control pannel so it never defaults to “Auto”
I’ll try 2 & 3 first ;-)
Opti0n 1
Agree Option 1 may not be a suitable option if you wish to eat :P
n0mad
option 4
Use the MAC address of the server to set up a DHCP reservation on the Router
it could work :)
I'll have to check if I have that option
on the el-chpo router. Not sure ;-)
sigh
Guess its usual pompom prac for me again on tuesday while every1 is out in the field.
