Pi with static ip address is unable to update

luckyflyer

I've changed my Duet pi to a static ip address and now when I do,

sudo apt-get update

I get

I can go back to a dynamic address and update works. Anyone else experience this?

You just lost all internet connectivity ... not a duet or even a pi issue but rather an issue with your router.
Are you using your router to assign a static IP address? does the router and the pi talk? Can you ping the router from the pi ? Many questions .....

how did you set your static ip? and did you include a dns server in the setup?

luckyflyer

I used an online tutorial here
https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-static-ip-address/
This is the data that I entered,

interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.0.180
interface wlan0
static ip_address=192.168.0.181
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

My pc can communicate with duet pi but Duet pi web browser doesn't seem to be able to get on the internet.

I think I may have entered the wrong dns server. My router says this,
Primary DNS Server : 192.168.254.254
I'll try that.

A Former User

@luckyflyer most consumer routers provide gateway and dns server on the same address.

its also a bit odd that you have your IP addresses in 192.168.0.0 and the router in 192.168.1.0, but if the netmask is not /24 it makes a little more sense (except 192.168. range is meant for class C so still a bit odd.

simplest is probably to run ipconfig /all on your windows computer and use the detfaut gateway and dns server from there if you didn't solve it already.

luckyflyer

I ran IPconfig/all and had a 1 digit dns error,192.168.1.1 should be 192.168.0.1. Corrected it and now works.
Thanks again

presumably same for the routers address?

luckyflyer

Yes it is, was a typo.
Can you take a look at last couple of posts in need help installing ustreamer and advise?
