Cannot set static ip on my server [solved]

Tags:

Hi, i've tried to setup my servers ip to be static instead of the default dhcp one. Since it's a webserver it feels like a generally good idea. However, i have edited the interfaces file like below...

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static
adress 192.168.1.245
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255

...and when i do a restart on the network i get an error saying something like "Don't seem to have all the variables for eth0/inet".

What's the matter? I've searched the entire Internet and i've seen lots of example interfaces-files that looksjust like mine. What is causing this error?

Regards Fredrik

It looks like there's a typo in the word "address"; if that's the case in /etc/network/interfaces, that's enough to break it.

I'm glad I never make typos like that... :-)
