Onefinity with windows xp/vista/7/8

Hey Giancarlo,

that’s what I did with my Onefinity Controller here.

As root on the Onefinity Controller, you create a new file called “eth0” in the directory /etc/network/interfaces.d with a content like this:

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.bla.bla
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.bla.0
        #broadcast 192.168.bla.255
        ## == bla blu is our DSL gateway: ==
        gateway 192.168.bla.blu

        ## == DNS servers from your dsl provider: ==
        dns-nameservers bla.bla.bla.bla1 bla.bla.bla.bla2

        ## == Or maybe we have local name servers: ==
        #dns-nameservers 192.168.bla.blob 192.168.bla.blip

(replace bla and blub by meaningful numbers :slight_smile: )

If you add the static IP address configuration, the user interface will then report two IP addresses:

Onefinity_Controller_two_IP_addresses

The good thing is that if you then connect the Onefinity controller to a computer with an unconfigured network, zeroconf will still work (it’s the avahi package that provides this)
