There are a lot of these posts around here but none of them actually solved my problem.

I tried to set up my Pi B to use a static IP in my home network. Here are the things I did so far:

Changed /src/network/interfaces to:

source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


iface eth0 inet static
adress 192.168.1.171
netmask 25.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.1668.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

However, regardless how many times I rebooted, ifconfig eth0 gives me the following:

Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr b8:27:eb:74:ab:fa
inet addr:192.168.1.213  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::d0c7:ac6d:5234:991e/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
RX packets:2074 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:518 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:122376 (119.5 KiB)  TX bytes:66904 (65.3 KiB)

Also, route -ne gives me:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0

I can only access the PI through 192.168.1.213.

Any suggestions how I can properly set up the static IP?

Do NOT edit /etc/network/interfaces as it have nothing to do with static IP in current version of Raspbian.

Undo every changes you have made.

Put static IP info into /etc/dhcpcd.conf because here is where it belong now :)

interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.171/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

btw, I'm using 171 too, my lucky number, lol

There are may ways of allocating static IP addresses (although I think there are better ways of managing addresses).

The recommended method for current Raspbian is described in How do I set up networking/WiFi/Static IP

You can use the older tutorials by editing /etc/network/interfaces if you disable dchcpcd. systemctl stop dhcpcd.service

There are a few other methods of managing networks as well.

Write address with two d and reboot. Then your pi will be accessable through your static and dhcp address. Disabling the dhcp client will fix this.

How I give the pi a static ip: click in the webinterface of my router on "give this device a static ip"
