How To Set A Static IP On Ubuntu 8.10

-
Due to a bug if you want to assign a static IP on Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop your setting will be overwritten after the next reboot because of a bug

Solution

Solution is to get down and dirty with the command line, it takes less than 2 minutes. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and enter the following values.

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.51
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1


And save it.

Now move on to edit the /etc/resolv.conf. And add the name server.

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 192.168.1.1

If you don’t want to reboot the system restart the networking service instead.

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

10 Differences between Windows(R) XP and Vista(tm)

1. Windows Vista Images Are Bigger With Windows XP and Windows 2000, it was possible to create images that would fit easily on a single CD (less than 700MB). Even organizations that added applications, drivers, and utilities to their image typically ended up with an operating system image in the 1GB to 3GB range. With Windows Vista, image size begins at about 2GB--compressed. Once this image is deployed, the size is often around 5GB or more, and there's no way to reduce it. If you add additional applications, drivers, or other files, this image obviously grows even larger. So how will you deploy the image? Does your network have the necessary capacity? (10MB networks or non-switched networks are not sufficient.) If you want to use CDs, how many can you deal with? You'll need three or four. DVDs (with a capacity of 4.7GB each) are now easy to create, so you can deploy using DVD drives if you have them. (If not, consider adding DVD drives when buying the next round of PCs.) With ...
