Oh, yes, I should have posted the nmcli commands.
Started withto double check my pi's IPCode:
hostname -I
Usedto check gateway and DNSCode:
ip r | grep default
ThenCode:
sudo nmcli connection modify "Home"(This is the IP I reserved in my router's settings)Code:
ipv4.addresses 192.168.0.21/24My subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 so I felt good about the /24. The DNS server I got by looking at my router settings. It's listed as part of the Cox permanent settings so I can't change it. That's the primary DNS, there's a second DNS 68.105.29.11.Code:
ipv4.gateway 192.168.0.1ipv4.dns 68.105.28.11ipv4.method manual
Those look like external DNS server addresses. That means you won't be able to resolve hostnames on your own network without using mDNS. If you want that (and you probably do) you need the IP address if your local nameserver in there. That's probably your router.
