I am having some trouble making Static IP work with my server.
When I originally setup the server, I was assigning the IP with DHCP. I was able to ping the server with hostname and browse my samaba shares using the hostname.
I changed to static IP as follows:
In the network interfaces,
Static IP
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
DNS Servers: 192.168.1.1, 8.8.8.8
I think I have the networking connectivity. However, I have lost the ability of using hostname everywhere. I cannot ping to my hostname and cannot browse to samba shares. Also, when connecting to Plex, I am forced to use the IP:32400.
What am I doing wrong?
