Find Ubuntu to handle Ethernet settings
With Network Tools, I can send a ping to the 192.168.0.0/24 network targeting my Windows machine. The command "ping 192.168.0.x" consistently shows no packets reaching the destination, resulting in full loss. Performance improves when pinging faster ranges (e.g., 40ms–20ms) compared to slower ones. Running "systemctl status firewalld" returns an error indicating that the unit firewalld.service is not found.
You gain access to network hosts. At this stage you can set up services like CIFS, NFS, SSH, etc., on your server, making them reachable from other devices. Accesses occur via IP addresses, so assigning a static IP is beneficial. Without name resolution, consider using a HOSTS file or a local DNS server.
i had it set as a static before but i changed it back to dynamic while messing around but if theres a correct way of setting static up in ubuntu then at least i'll know that is right haha. "name resolution so you could manage a HOSTS file or setup a local DNS server. " i dont have that or know how to go about that at all haha
Adjust the configuration to static mode by disabling the DHCP assignment. Uncomment the line with "iface enp2s0 inet dhcp" and replace its value with a static IP such as 192.168.0.9. Make sure it matches your network settings. In /etc/resolv.conf, list your domain servers accordingly. This ensures access isn't limited to hostnames but resolves directly to IP addresses. For testing, you can use pure IPs initially. Consider HOSTS files for simpler local resolution, though they have downsides. DNS offers a cleaner approach but demands more expertise. Windows uses NetBIOS natively, while Linux supports it too, but I prefer other methods for most tasks.
