As soon as I changed DNS to 192.168.0.1 (in Network Configuration or /etc/resolv.com), STATIC IP started to work.
THrough this process & members feedback, I learned quite a lot about Networking -- it's interesting.
Thanks a lot for your help.
You need to add your ISP's DNS addresses to /etc/resolv.
Another thing you can do is to configure your dhcp client to tell the server what IP address you should give your interface. The other values like /etc/resolve and the gateway address will be provided automatically then.
I am not sure how my response got lost but here is that. As soon as I added 192.168.0.1 as DNS, STATIC IP started working. Thanks to all for your help.
Cheers.
@jschiwal do you think putting 192.168.0.1 (modem's IP )in resolv.conf will solve this problem !!!
I had tried this and it didn't work. It depends on the router. My system has a config file for the the dhcp client where you can determine whether /etc/resolve.conf is modified or not. Since the ISP's name server addresses could change beyond your control, I think it would be best if it was set by DHCP.
