I'm trying to set up a static IP on an Ubuntu machine that is connected to the internet via a Comcast gateway (SMC). Following their instructions I added this to the /etc/network/interfaces (the static IP is, for example 160.10.10.69, and gateway is supposed to be 160.10.10.70):
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 160.10.10.69
netmask 255.255.255.252
gateway 160.10.10.70
However, after I restart networking I loose internet access. (and I can't investigate further as I'm remotely connected.)
Any ideas on what I'm missing?
Thanks
