I'm following this guide, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XenProposed, and I'd like to setup a static IP address, but I don't know how. I'm using 12.04 Server.
This is the step I'm having trouble at (I'm using eth1):
Edit /etc/network/interfaces, and make it look like this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto xenbr0
iface xenbr0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
I do this, and here is my output from ifconfig:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:17:a4:f8:79:20

So how do I give this system a static IP address? Sorry, I'm not that familiar with networking on Ubuntu.
