+Jason Murphy Glad to help

+Beau Rosario Actually the steps shown in the video don't work with Raspbian Jessie. Cookie these steps instead : First of all enter this command: sudo vi /etc/dhcpcd.conf Then all you need to do is add the following to the bottom of the file. Make sure to use the IP that you want. interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.1.141/24 static routers=192.168.1.1 static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1 The above mentioned steps should work

+Derick Ghoda Yes, just reverse the steps.

+Iván Calvo That's what I do man!.... I save lives!

I have looked into it and the procedure for setting the static IP hasn't changed much. first of all enter this command: sudo vi /etc/dhcpcd.conf Then all you need to do is add the following to the bottom of the file. Make sure to use the IP that you want. interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.1.141/24 static routers=192.168.1.1 static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1 If you are still facing problems let me know the exact problem you are facing.

+Andy Mitchell Since I can't cover everything in the comments I'll to make a video explaining all the changes in the Raspbian Jessie.

+Live Sparks That would be fantastic. I'm sure there are many people like myself who are finding working with Raspbian Jessie anything but simple. I have tried both Jessie and the newer Jessie Lite. Testing ping is the first thing that was driving me insane. Ping would only work with elevated privileges. It makes you think you've been hacked. You have to change the permissions: chmod u+s /bin/ping. Then it'll work. Why it's like this, is a mystery. I finally assign a static IP address but I find I have two IP addresses, a static one and a dynamic one. I haven't been able to fix that. That's yet another mystery. I can still ping out to google and receive all the packets back okay. However, I can't update, upgrade or install packages with confirmation. Jessie won't connect to the repos properly. That's one mystery too many and the point where I said Jessie is horrible and gave up. I know I'm at some point soon going to have to move to Jessie unless another distro ports to ARM; Ubuntu Server would be great. Anyway, I'm dreaming. If you have better luck with Jessie, please tell me how you performed this miracle. I'm sure I'm not the only person that'll thank you.

I'll try to address all these issues in an upcoming video but until then you can use the raspbian weezy because jessie doesn't offer many performance improvements.

+Live Sparks That would be fantastic. I have one more quick question. In your previous reply you give a example of an edit to /etc/dhcpcd.conf in Raspbian Jessie. You give an dummy example static IP address: 192.168.1.141/24. I'm unfamiliar with the /24 extension to it. What does it mean and is it necessary for when I apply my own static IP address?

+Hudson James Then just replace the IP with the one you want but you will have to make sure that no other device on your network has the same IP. You will have to check for that I your router settings.

+Hudson James What exactly hasn't changed? The IP address isn't supposed to change. Although if the file hasn't changed them you might be using Raspbian Jessie for which the procedure is different.

+Hudson James The IP doesn't need to change, if you followed the exact same procedure than the IP would stay the same and never change (static IP) which is what we want. Manual instead of dhcp doesn't make a difference, just replace it with static.

Unfortunately, the procedure is a little different for Jessie though I have already answered Andy on how to do it on Jessie.

thanks Sparks. I just tested my system. I did not do anything to router or my pi, I reboot , or shutdown my pi. my ip address stay same. why?

This really depends upon your router, some try to give the same ip to the same devices whereas some routers assign the ip randomly. But there is a chance that some new device might occupy the ip your Pi is at and then your Pi's ip will change. This is why it is a good idea to give a static ip.

+Live Sparks with this static ip address, how do you visit your pi world wide?

After giving the static ip, you need to port forward the Pi so that it is visible outside your network. There will be an option for port forwarding in your router settings.

Good vid bro.

do have u solve the problem ultimately??

+Sunam Saha The procedure mentioned in the video doesn't work with the newer raspbian Jessie. Though it still works with Raspbian Weezy

how it can work for the new model??pls ans
