at this point i mange to kill second address by

Code: Select all

 
$ ps aux | grep dhcp
root       430  0.0  0.4   2552  1784 ?        Ss   23:14   0:00
/sbin/dhcpcd -q -w
pi        2411  0.0  0.4   4272  2092 pts/1    S+   23:22   0:00 grep
--color=auto dhcp

$ sudo kill 430
pi@4card-server:~ $ ps aux | grep dh
pi        2661  0.0  0.4   4268  1844 pts/1    S+   23:23   0:00 grep
--color=auto dh
 
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[....] Restarting networking (via systemctl):
networking.serviceWarning: Unit file of networking.service changed on
disk, 'systemctl daemon-reload' recommended.
. ok 

but after login on dhcp is coming back.

Question is how to prevent dhcp client from starting?

How are you configuring the RPi to have a static IP address?

I thing regular way by editing /etc/network/interfaces

Code: Select all

 $ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.88.174
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    broadcast 192.168.88.255
    network 192.168.88.0
    gateway 192.168.88.1

^^^ That is no longer the regular way since Raspbian Jessie. If using Jessie, revert the above changes and type

Code: Select all

man dhcpcd.conf

for help.
