edit /etc/network/interface to set up static ip address:
sample:

 

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface

#allow-hotplug eth0

#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

        address 192.168.0.100

        netmask 255.255.255.0

        network 192.168.0.0

        broadcast 192.168.0.255

        gateway 192.168.0.1

$sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

 

edit /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost

192.168.0.100   yiznix.com    host

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

fe00::0 ip6-localnet

ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix

ff02::1 ip6-allnodes

ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

 

edit /etc/hostname:

$sudo echo yiznix.com > /etc/hostname

$sudo /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start

 

check hostname:

$sudo hostname

$sudo hostname

both of them must be yiznix.com
