What is the name of your network device? I had an update change the ethernet device name from eth0 to enp3s1 or some such nonsense that is supposed to give consistent naming even if I add in additional adapters into my laptop. You can grep through dmesg to find out. Or you can find the name out when you ip addr .</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks for the reply. Name is enp3s0 and has been that since 16.10. And that name is picked up by dhcp but I can’t get a static address assigned like I could in 16.10</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">2. Is network maanger running?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Yes, and I’ve played with starting and stopping it as well as a lot of other tricks. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">You can force network maanger to use the interraces file. The debian site tells you how. </div><a href="https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager">https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager</a></div><br><br>Will take a look at this.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">3. Okay, I lied there is a third point. Have a looked through your syslog to find out what's happening?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Using dmesg I see that enp3s0 is shown as up and down many times during startup... so maybe it is a timing problem. Will do some more looking at syslog. I WAS able to use ifconfig to assign the static address that is in the interfaces file and that works as a temp fix so it indicates everything is working except the use of the interfaces file. But this problem is a showstopper as far as I am concerned.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Good luck. Thsee things are frustrating. I had a similar problem getting network manager to work. The problem was a certain zero byte file was missing.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Hmmm. Want to tell what file that was?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">David<br><div class="gmail_extra" dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 2 Oct 2017 01:27, "Bmarsh" <<a href="mailto:bmarsh@bmarsh.com">bmarsh@bmarsh.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <br><div id="m_5867126987121531732newMessage"> Thanks... took a quick look but didn’t see anything that seemed like the problem.
