Reboot needed to update IP address

Recommended Posts

I have just received an Orange Pi PC Plus, and am mostly happy with it. 

Linux orangepipcplus 4.14.18-sunxi is installed on a microSD card.

 

There is a minor problem with IP addresses.  When I first turned it on I forgot to plug in the network cable, so naturally ifconfig showed no IP address.

I plugged in the cable, waited a minute, and tried again.  Still no address.  Maybe it's not hot-pluggable.

Reboot, and I got an address. 

Since it was outside the range my server accepts I assigned a static address in the router, and rebooted the router.

ifconfig still showed the first address, even though the router's client list showed the new static address.

Another reboot was needed.  All my other systems update an address change automatically.

 

Some day I hope to be able to stream live TV (currently I get 5fps) but it's not a priority.
