[SOLVED] Assigning static ip in linux

Issue

I've tried to assign static ip to my raspberry computer, yet it doesn't assign it after rebooting. My /etc/networ/interfaces file looks like this:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

After rebooting and using ifconfig command it shows me that the address is different. What should I do to make it assign data from the file?


Solution

It's /etc/network/interfaces not /etc/networ/interfaces and you forgot to add:

 auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet static

You should do:

 /etc/init.d/networking restart

or

 ifdown eth0 
 ifup eth0

Instead of rebooting, Also make sure that 192.168.1.2 isn't used already.
