I'm here to learn, so advice is appreciated.
Since moving over the Stretch, by selecting wifi from the menubar it seemed to populate the tail
of my /etc/dhcpdc.conf
with:
SSID <my AP>
inform 10.0.1.10
static routers=10.0.1.1
static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8
My RPi didn't seem to like it. It connected, but there were other issues. When I replaced that format with the following, from a Jesse Pi, it behaved as I expected.
interface wlan0
static ip_address=10.0.1.10/24
static routers=10.0.1.1
static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
Can someone explain the differences of the two, or point me to a tutorial, so a newbie like me can better understand Pi networking?
man dhcpcd.conf
should explain the options;inform
is in this: daemon-systems.org/man/dhcpcd.conf.5.html Prefer the system man page if they conflict. – goldilocks♦ Jan 17 '19 at 21:27
