I am running ubuntu server and have set my interfaces file up properly and set a static dns but it keeps connecting with dhcp. When I start the networking I get the following.

administrator@Pineapple-Server:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[sudo] password for administrator:
* Reconfiguring network interfaces...
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 20971

Hi

Can you post the output of


cat /etc/network/interfaces
cat /etc/resolv.conf
lsattr /etc/network/interfaces
ps aux | grep dhcp

Did you uninstall the dhcp client ?

Kind regards

Hi

Post the output of...


ls -l /etc/network/interfaces
lsattr /etc/network/interfaces

One of the suggestions in the thread i linked suggested using chattr +i ... Did you use that ?

Kind regards

Whoa! Isn't it the router's job to hand out IP addresses?

I was under the impression the server was receiving a DHCP address but was set to use a static address.

I may have well missed something here so @OP can you clarify please.

Kind regards
