init doesn't start dhclient. If you had network configured to use dhcp server to obtain IP addres, /etc/init.d/networking will read /etc/network/interfaces and start dhclient. If you change settings in /etc/network/interfaces, so that you use static IP now. You should restart /etc/init.d/networking and 'killall -9 dhclient3'. One might consider this as a bug, since there's no magic that will stop dhclient once you change network settings. But, bottom line is - init/upstart doesn't start dhclient. If you reboot, you'll notice that there's no dhclient running. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
