===== Network Configuration =====

We need to bring up the interfaces (eth0) with a static IP address, raspian's default is dhcp.

==== Static IP address ====

  # nano /etc/network/interfaces
Change
  iface eth0 inet dhcp
to
  iface eth0 inet static
and add the following lines
  address 192.168.1.5
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 192.168.1.0
  broadcast 192.168.1.255
  gateway 192.168.1.1

==== Restart Network ====

Restart network:
  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
