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
