![]() On most networks, especially at home, the main router is your Internet provider box. Before picking an IP address and trying to configure it on the Raspberry Pi, we need to take a few minutes to study the current network. I put the word “random” in quotation marks in my introduction because there is nothing truly random with computers. Prerequisites: Get the network configuration ![]() The first third of the book teaches you the basics, but the following chapters include projects you can try on your own. It’s a 30-day challenge, where you learn one new thing every day until you become a Raspberry Pi expert. If you are looking to quickly progress on Raspberry Pi, you can check out my e-book here. We’ll explore these 3 methods, but first, let’s make sure you understand your current network, it’s an important prerequisite to avoid any IP address conflicts or network malfunctions. There are three ways to set a static IP address on Raspberry Pi: assign an IP address to your Raspberry Pi in the router configuration, set a static IP in the desktop environment, or change the nf configuration file to always use the same IP. Let’s learn how to fix it, and tell the Raspberry Pi to always use the same one. ![]() This IP address might change almost every time you use it, which is not convenient at all. When you plug a Raspberry Pi into the network and boot it, it will generally get a “random” IP from the DHCP server. ![]()
