How to set a static IP in Ubuntu 14.04 server<\/strong>
\n\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

By default the Ubuntu 14.04 server sets the interface to use DHCP, here’s how to set a static IP address.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Edit “\/etc\/network\/interfaces”.\u00a0 In this example set-up we’ll use 192.168.1.50 as our server IP address:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

$sudo nano \/etc\/network\/interfaces
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Find and comment the (default) DHCP entry.\u00a0 Your “interfaces” file should look like this:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

# DHCP not needed
# iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.50
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Save and exit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

$sudo nano \/etc\/resolv.conf
Add:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
search mynetwork.local
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Save and exit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Edit \/etc\/hosts
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

$sudo nano \/etc\/hosts
Add:
192.168.1.50\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 u1404server.mynetwork.local\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 u1404server
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Save and exit:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Reload (start and stop) network
$sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: There is a bug (feature?) in 14.04 where “service networking start|stop|restart” does nothing. This command\/script worked in 13.10\/13.04\/12.04, however it doesn’t work in 14.04.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

To revert back to the 13.10 networking scripts go to:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

https:\/\/github.com\/metral\/restore_networking
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This will replace the 14.04 scripts with the one used in 13.10.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

$sudo apt-get install git
$sudo git clone https:\/\/github.com\/metral\/restore_networking.git
$cd restore_networking\/
$sudo .\/restore_networking.sh
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

miguel@u1404server:~$ sudo service networking restart
networking stop\/waiting
networking start\/running
