How do I use a static IP in Ubuntu 17.10 and newer?
I changed config from dhcp to static (192.168.0.17), but still getting a dhcp assigned (192.168.0.141) IP. I don't know where else to check... any idea?
ifconfig

Solution 1:
Networking is handled by netplan by default in Ubuntu Server 17.10. I suggest that you edit the /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml
file to read:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# For more information, see netplan(5).
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
ens33:
dhcp4: no
dhcp6: no
addresses: [192.168.0.17/24]
gateway4: 192.168.0.1
nameservers:
addresses: [8.8.8.8,192.168.0.1]
Exit and save your changes by running the command:
sudo netplan apply
Please note and follow the spacing and indentation.
Comment out all the ens33 stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces
. Reboot.
Any improvement?
