I did the things I said I would. I found this compact
explanation with Google:
If Your Ubuntu System has set to use DHCP, you will want to
change it to a static IP address here is simple tip
open the /etc/network/interfaces file.
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
If you are using DHCP for your primary network card which is
usually eth0, you will see the following lines
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
As you can see, it’s using DHCP right now. We are going to
change dhcp to static, and then there are a number of options
that should add and here is the example and you can change
these settings according to your network settings.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
Restart the neworking service using the following command
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
What I did would was first $ sudo ifconfig and found what it
was now, and then set it up to get it the same as a static ip
number. It worked.
