Hi everybody,
I'm extremely new to linux, as part of a college project I've had to install and use a Debian Virtual Machine for a number of tasks, and I'm extremely impressed with how powerful an OS it is.
Anyway, the final part of my assignment is to set the machine a static ip address, which I did using this guide
http://elinux.org/RPi_Setting_up_a_static_IP_in_Debian
and an elevated gedit window.
Unfortunately when I try to restart the network connection I get the error mentioned in my title.
My interfaces file is as follows:
# This file describes the network interfaces #available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, #see interfaces(5).
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
# Enable a loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
#Static IP address
address 192.168.15.4
#your gateway IP
gateway 192.168.15.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
#Network address settings
network 192.168.15.1
Can anyone see the issue?
Thanks a million for any help!
