I didn't want to put this into my other thread about my nVidia driver<br>
problem, so I'm starting a new topic. I want to know how I can keep the<br>
ethernet connection on my Mythbuntu box set to a static IP. Everytime<br>
my box starts up, it reverts back to DHCP and gets an address of<br>
<a href="http://192.168.1.103" target="_blank">192.168.1.103</a>. I keep on turning off the network, editing the "Auto<br>
eth0" profile and setting it to static (<a href="http://192.168.1.200" target="_blank">192.168.1.200</a>), then restarting<br>
the network. But, like I said, when I reboot, it goes back to DHCP.<br>
<br>
How can I stop this and keep the static IP address?<br>

</blockquote></div><br>You may want to try setting a manual connection up in network manager. Network manager is probably what is resetting things each time you boot, it doesn't use /etc/network/interfaces. Also a better option may be to set up static dhcp in your router. Many routers will let you choose an ip address that the dhcp server will always give to a certain mac address. Then you can just leave all of computers with their default dhcp settings and you only have to change things in the router.<br>
