auto eth0
\niface eth0 inet dhcp<\/p>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

auto eth0
\niface eth0 inet static
\naddress 192.168.1.100
\nnetmask 255.255.255.0
\nnetwork 192.168.1.0
\nbroadcast 192.168.1.255

Now we\u2019ll just need to restart the networking components:<\/p>\n
sudo \/etc\/init.d\/networking restart<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ping www.google.com. If you get a response, name resolution is working(unless of course if google is in your hosts file).<\/p>\n
