Add network interface troubleshooting guide
Document solution for IP address changes caused by dual ethernet ports: - Identify three network interfaces (WiFi, eth left port, eth right port) - Provide NetworkManager commands for static IP configuration - Include step-by-step solution using "Wired connection 2" (enp4s0) - Configure both ethernet and WiFi to use same static IP (192.168.0.100) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Then restart service:
|
||||
`sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind`
|
||||
|
||||
## IP addresses keep changing
|
||||
|
||||
Due to 3 interfaces:
|
||||
* Wifi
|
||||
* Ethernet left port (ThinkPad adapter) - Wired Connection 1
|
||||
* Ethernet right port (regular ethernet cable) - Wired Connection 2
|
||||
|
||||
### Proposed solution
|
||||
|
||||
* Stick with wired2
|
||||
|
||||
● Configure static IP for "Wired connection 2" (enp4s0):
|
||||
|
||||
* Set static IP to 192.168.0.100
|
||||
sudo nmcli connection modify "Wired connection 2" \
|
||||
ipv4.method manual \
|
||||
ipv4.addresses 192.168.0.100/24 \
|
||||
ipv4.gateway 192.168.0.1 \
|
||||
ipv4.dns 192.168.0.1
|
||||
|
||||
* Apply the changes
|
||||
sudo nmcli connection up "Wired connection 2"
|
||||
|
||||
Then configure WiFi with the same static IP:
|
||||
|
||||
* First connect to your WiFi if not already
|
||||
sudo nmcli connection up "Telekom-4b28df-2.4GHz"
|
||||
|
||||
* Set same static IP for WiFi
|
||||
sudo nmcli connection modify "Telekom-4b28df-2.4GHz" \
|
||||
ipv4.method manual \
|
||||
ipv4.addresses 192.168.0.100/24 \
|
||||
ipv4.gateway 192.168.0.1 \
|
||||
ipv4.dns 192.168.0.1
|
||||
|
||||
Verify the configuration:
|
||||
nmcli connection show "Wired connection 2" | grep ipv4
|
||||
ip addr show enp4s0
|
||||
|
||||
This way both your ethernet (enp4s0) and WiFi will use 192.168.0.100, solving your dual interface IP issue.
