With the netmask for that network the address 255 is the broadcast address= sends to all machines on that network. 254 addresses are available from 192.168.1. 1 254.

Not strictly. You can uninstall network-manager and it will need to be manually opulated and will not be generated at all. In a default install maybe, but there are situations which are very common where the file will not be touched

Hi, I did the above, and now when I try to update or install anything onto the server, it fails to fetch or do anything. It does still allow workstations access to the samba files.

i edited both the “interface” file and the resolv.config as the kind man above instructed.

any help to determine why internet access is not working?

my resolv.conf file reads (is this right?)
192.168.1.254

Hi,
I am able to change the IP address from DHCP to static using commands. But when I restart the machine, I do get only DHCP IP address. It seems chaging from dhcp to static is not being saved in config file. Is there any command to save the settings which I have done to change the IP? I got in some posts that “To make permanent changes to IP address you need to edit configuration file according to your Linux distribution.” but I dont want to go for that .. Is there any command to execute to save the changes ???
Thanks ..

This is for second ip
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.2.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
After entering all the details you need to restart networking services using the following command
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

You left out the gateway. It sounds like you wanted the Ubuntu VM online, if so, the gateway would be the ip of your router (ADSL modem or similar) that connects you to the internet.
gateway 192.168.12.1 (or ip of router)
& you have a strange network address, It looks like it should be:
network 192.168.12.0

What else should be made for a wireless connection?
The end of my interfaces file has:
wpa-driver wext
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
