I apologize for the outburst, http://forums.openmediavault.o…php/User/4556-ryecoaaron/.
I have owned computers for longer than most of you have been alive, but I know nothing of Linux. I cut my teeth on a DEC PDP8 in 1972. However, I am a Hardware Engineer and not a programmer. I am just tired of being dismissed as irrelevant just because I may ask an obvious (to you) question once in a while. I do try to search the forums first, but it's very difficult to find anything specific in this manner. Forum searches are usually less than enlightening, unless you know exactly what you are looking for.
I did try to set the OMV settings to fixed IP address, but it only resulted in no IP address at all. And, in the System/Network/Interfaces tab it showed nothing in any of the fields for Eth0. I have tried to reset it again and it seems to be working. We'll see when I reboot.
And, http://forums.openmediavault.o…ex.php/User/3872-Huberer/ , That was an attempt at humor. It's a line from an old movie. The fact that you didn't get the reference does not mean it was in any way intended as rude. And yes, you are right, I should have put in more information other than "It doesn't work".
I do have another question you could shed some light on. I started a thread on it but got no replies. It involves an error that I get sometimes when I hit the Apply Changes click box. It gives me an error something about Monit. See Error on Configuration Apply
