Please how can I create a static IP address on my mikrotic router board 1100? Then apply the same IP address on my local server. I tried the steps given previously and typed ifconfig yet the IP address didn't show. Thanks. On Tuesday, 17 November 2015, Cajetan Onyeneke <cajetanonyeneke@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes
In that case, have a look at your /etc/network/interfaces file
And if eth0 is the one you want to set
comment out what is currently there for eth0 (change for eth1 etc if that makes sense)
and add
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
(Do this from the console, because you dont want to lock yourself out)
Then do
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
or
sudo service networking restart
Then if you look at ifconfig you should have received an address from the dhcp server
