Does anyone know anything about how to configure this for a static
address for my Raspberry Pi?
With the latest version of Raspbian [Stretch] They have changed the way
that the network is configured. In the old system I used to paste in my
two standard files [Interfaces & wpa_supplicant.conf] and away it went.
I want to have a fixed IP address for my Pi, usually 192.168.1.8. My
DHCP range is from 192.168.1.16- 30 Netmask /27.
The documentation I can find tells me how to add some lines specifying
'static IP = x.x.x.x' etc to fix an IP address, which I have done. This
on bootup gives the Raspberry Pi both a DHCP address and the desired
static IP, but the DHCP address is the only one that I can work with.
I have removed all of the configuration except for these 'static' lines
from dhcpcd.conf, and the result is a DHCP address and no sign of a
fixed/static address.
I am using fing on my tablet to see what the IP addresses in the network
are. Fing shows the second IP grayed out in the example above.
Aside: On my Talktalk (Dlink) router I can find a device and give a
device a reserved IP to it's MAC address, but only in the DHCP address
range. It won't let me fix a non-DHCP address.
Any ideas welcome. The R-Pi forums haven't been much use.
Thanks,
Peter M.
