Dap… that’s what I thought would happen… the router would see the MAC address come up and request an address and make the association… but it didn’t work out like that.
flamingm0e… These instructions
They give four distinct (to my eye) situational examples… I used the last “Static IP” as my file… substituting in my IP address etc… It didn’t work…
[ipv4]
method=manual
address=192.168.1.111/24,192.168.1.1
dns=8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4;
turns out my file should have looked like this…
[connection]
id=my-network
uuid=f62bf7c2-e565-49ff-bbfc-a4cf791e6add
type=802-3-ethernet
[ipv4]
method=manual
address=192.168.1.111/24,192.168.1.1
dns=8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4;
[ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy
method=auto
… to me the instructions were not concise… if there was a required format to the file…
The documentation says…
Default

Static IP <==== I used this one which failed
Replace the following configuration:
[ipv4]
method=manual
address=192.168.1.111/24,192.168.1.1
dns=8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4;
Lets just agree to disagree on our determination of the succinctness and clarity to a noobie of the instruction… lol
That said… I still welcome your input… you obviously have some insight in to the tool and its nomenclature which I totally lack.
I’ll figure it out… I’m sure I’ll have more questions!
Thanks everyone for you help… this community is a great one!
