###### Procedure
1. Sign in as root user
2. Open `/etc/network/interfaces` with nano, e.g.
```
nano /etc/network/interfaces
```
3. Ensure something similar to the following exists for the primary adapter:
```
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100/24
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
```
!!! info "Note"
Substitute `eth0` for the true interface name of the device that will connect you to the LAN
* The `/24` is the CIDR format of having a netmask of `255.255.255.0`. The non-CIDR equivalent is:
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
# .../16 = 255.255.0.0
# .../21 = 255.255.248.0
4. Save and run `systemctl restart networking && ifup eth0`
5. Run `ip address` and inspect the output for changes
