Got my pi today Very Happy

I do not have a HDMI capable monitor, so I've plugged into TV, booted to debian and all is well.

I now want to RDP to it, I need to plug directly into my superhub, but before I bring it into this room I need to set the IP address to something static.

How does one go about that... do I need to do it in terminal Thumbs Up

Have a look on the pi forum. Probs get a better informed reply if it's not already been asked before!

My Pi refuses to acknowledge that the interfaces folder exists.

I can ls -lh and see the folder listed there... but I can't cd etc/network/interfaces, it just tells me it doesn't exist Brick Wall

I know..perhaps it was the nap I took before having a look at the pi that caused me to post that, but yeah.. it wouldn't let me use nano on it. Laughing

Either way, just fresh installed, perfectly fine to access that file, changed stuff, set DNS in the other conf and voila. Net access.

Now its sitting on my network as an FTP/Web server. boom town.

Quick note that if you're running off of a SD card then you'll want to be sure that it's not doing unnecessary writes. If you're using Raspbian then the root mount should already be noatime, and /var/log, /var/tmp and /tmp (and possibly others) can be mounted as ram drives, unless you've got a passion for keeping logs.

cat /etc/fstab

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults 0 2
/dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
here on, use dphys-swapfile swap[on|off] for that
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=20M 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=20M 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=20M 0 0
