Setting Static IP on Raspberry Pi

I fought and fought with the Raspberry Pi, trying to set a static IP. I really wanted it to have a static reservation on the DHCP server, like everything else. But, there is [a bug???] in the software that won't get any DHCP address, if you set a static reservation for it.

I set my ip static using nm-tui. I have Network Manager installed.Posted 08-25-2021 at 05:41 AM by kermitdafrog8

Sorry for the late reply. I just finished what should be my final degree for now. Now, in the inbetween time, I have time for some more home work. Not "homework", but "home work".
