# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

Are you editing the correct file?

The file would be

/etc/network/interfaces

and you need to use sudo when launching the editor

sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

(substitute your own text editor for gedit if you dont have gedit)

You can also check for syntax errors in the interface file with:

sudo ifup --no-act enp3s0

i typed in sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and the file said only

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


under which i added the text you provided, i wrote to the file closed and came back to make sure it was there. I dont know why it only had the loopback when i first went in, all the examples i have seen online have all the network connections that are shown under ip a in the file but mine does not.

what does

sudo ifup --no-act enp3s0

return?

Your network connections that the gui sets are here: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections it will have a file for your wired connections. post the contents of that file here.

sudo ifup --no-acr enp3s0 returns ifup: interface enp3s0 already configured

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections returns no such file or directory exists

So if you do (with the 7i96 connected)

sudo ifdown -a
sudo ifup -a
ip a

What do you get?

Yeah sorry, thats was for linux mint. Your using debian I just read.

When i did that the ip address seemed to change:

2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether f0:4d:a2:fe:86:3e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.10.10.100/24 brd 10.10.10.255 scope global enp3s0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::f24d:a2ff:fefe:863e/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Then when i tried to open my machine it said resource temporarily unavailable (-11) and now ip a returns the 10.10.10.10/8 ip again

the ip address only reverted after cycling the power on my mesa card
