ubuntu ip changing on its own while running in vmware
 

hi all,


i have a ubuntu 9.04 dns,web server in a virtual machine using vmware it works great apart from when i get up in the morning and try to access it via the domain it doesnt work so i check ifconfig and the ip has changed even though in my interfaces file it says the one i set to it orginally , so with out touching any files i restart the network and it works this is every day


any ideas why this is


many thanks

How did you setup the nic in vmware? Can we assume dhcp in ubuntu?
