For those that are having a hard time setting up PureVPN on their Raspberry Pi, the following guide will do wonders for them. Raspberry Pi (PPTP) 1 First of all you will have to install PPTP client that can be done using the following command. Remove static IP and Enable DHCP? Ask Question. Raspberry Pi-3 running Stretch. There are dozens of posts here and on other forums about how to set a static IP for the Pi. My problem is the other direction. I have several Pi's, esp switches and a couple of computers on my home LAN. Since an IP scan shows 42 devices, managing them with static.
Configure Network Settings on Raspberry Pi Hardware
You can resolve networkconnectivity issues by inspecting and editing the IP configurationof the Raspberry Pi™ Ethernet port.
You may need to reconfigure the IP settings if your board:
- Has unknown IP settings
- Is unreachable using a network connection
- Is being moved to a network or direct Ethernet connectionthat uses static IP settings
- Is being moved from a network that used static IPsettings to one that uses DHCP services
There are several conditions under which networks use DHCP orstatic IP settings:
- Use DHCP services — If your board is connectedto a network with DHCP services, such as an office LAN or a home networkconnected to the Internet. DHCP is a network service that automaticallyconfigures the IP settings of Ethernet devices connected to a network.
- Use static IP settings — If your board is directlyconnected to an Ethernet port on your computer or connected to anisolated network without DHCP services.
To configure the board to use DHCP or static IP settings:
- You can use a terminal window after accessing the Linux® desktop.See Access the Linux on Raspberry Pi Using Computer Peripherals.
- Display the contents of the
/etc/network/interfaces
file.Enter:If the board is configured to use DHCP services (the defaultconfiguration),dhcp
appears at the end of thefollowing line:If the board is configured to use static IP settings,static
appearsat the end of the following line: - Create a backup of the /etc/network/interfaces file.Enter:If prompted, enter the root password.
- Edit
interfaces
using a simpleeditor callednano
. Enter: - Edit the last word of line that starts with
ifaceeth0 inet
.To use DHCP services, change the line to:To use static IP settings, change the line to: - For static IP settings, add lines for
address
,netmask
,andgateway
. For example:For static IP settings:- The value of the subnet mask must be the same forall devices on the network.
- The value of the IP address must be unique for eachdevice on the network.
For example, if the Ethernet port on your host computer hasa network mask of255.255.255.0
and a static IPaddress of192.168.1.1
, set:netmask
to use the same networkmask value,255.255.255.0
.address
to an unused IP address,between192.168.1.2
and192.168.1.254
.
- Save the changes and exit
nano
:- Press Ctrl+X.
- Enter
Y
to save the modified buffer. - For “File Name to Write: /etc/network/interfaces”,press Enter.
- The
nano
editor confirms that it“Wrote # lines” and returns control to the command line.
- Reboot the board. In MATLAB® Command Window, enter:
- Test the IP settings by logging in to the board overa telnet session.
Tip
You can use the
ifconfig
command to temporarilychange the IP settings. Rebooting the board removes the ifconfig
settingsand restores the /etc/network/interfaces
settings. To change the IP settings temporarily, open a Linux commandline. Enter
ifconfig
, the device id, a valid IPaddress, netmask
, and the appropriate network mask.For example:
