1. Find out VM subnet
   

   Code Block
   ifconfig eth0

   Note the IP address that this produces (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd).
2. Edit /etc/network/interfaces.static
   

   Code Block
   sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces.static

   and make sure it says the following (aaa.bbb.ccc are the values you got in previous step)
   

   Code Block
   address aaa.bbb.ccc.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway aaa.bbb.ccc.1 dns-nameservers aaa.bbb.ccc.2

3. Point /etc/network/interfaces to your new configuration file
   

   Code Block
   sudo rm /etc/network/interfaces sudo ln -s /etc/network/interfaces.static /etc/network/interfaces.static

4. Reboot your VM for changes to take effect
   

   Code Block
   sudo /sbin/reboot

5. Test the new network configuration by running
   

   Code Block
   ifconfig eth0

   You should see aaa.bbb.ccc.3 as the IP address.
6. Test external connectivity
   

   Code Block
