Changing to static IP?

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1399 / 3 Years ago, sat, june 19, 2021, 6:30:01

I'm using Ubuntu Server and trying to set my connection to have a static IP, instead of a dynamic one. However, whenever I enter this into
/etc/network/interface

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet static

     address 192.168.1.68

     netmask 255.255.255.0

     gateway 192.168.1.64

My server can't connect to the internet. Running something like sudo apt-get upgrade, gives errors because I'm not connected to the internet. What's wrong with this?

As far as from 12.04LTS one should not use /etc/resolv.conf. If a network adapter is working with IP addresses, but doesn't resolve domain names, add

dns-nameservers 1.2.3.4  5.6.7.8

after gateway clause in /etc/network/interface
