can't find sudo nano text files for networking

[whatpie]

Hi, first poster here.

I read a guide and got into some text files and now the guide has been removed and I'm kind of stuck because I can't remember the exact titles.

I'm trying to do two things from a raspberry pi 3 booted into terminal mode.

1. Get into the nano text file that lets me set a static ip (I need to change it to another ip) because now I'm using a wired connection from a hub and the ip has changed which has screwed up my server.

2. I also got into some other text files and enabled the wifi card by inputting my SSID and password manually. I'd like to clean those settings out and disable the wifi

So I guess my questions are does anyone know what text files I need to get into? is there a list of nano text files on raspberian somewhere?

For 1- perhaps you want to edit /etc/dhcpcd.conf. I've removed it personally but I suppose you're not bent on using /etc/network/interfaces.
From what I read comfortably on the internet I understand you want to add something like this to the end of file /etc/dhcpcd.conf:

Code: Select all

# Custom static IP address for eth0.
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.0.200/24
static routers=192.168.0.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1

For 2- You can type "sudo ifconfig wlan0 down" (no quotes) and that should stop your wireless connection. I'm afraid I can't help for a longer-lasting solution if the configuration is done in dhcpcd.
