In the hour or so following the IP address changes back (repeatedly) to the DHCP assigned one, all by itself, which does not make sense. Can anyone suggest what I have done wrong? LAMP is installed.<br /> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart changed to the statically defined IP, however it also gives the message:<br /> postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory<br /> which makes little sense to me.<br /> Any suggestions would be appreciated! </p>
