The key component of this is the word ''static'' at the end of the line beginning with ''iface'', forcing the IP address to bet set statically as determined by the user. Each of the components of the network must now be set individually. The address is the network address and can be set to anything. Typically only the last number is changed from what is currently set The current IP address can be determined by using the Linux command [[This Is Your Brain On Informatics: Linux Commands|''ifconfig'']] and looking at the ''inet addr'' under the appropriate network. ''Bcast'' will determine the broadcast and ''Mask'' will determine the netmask. As long as only the final number of the IP address is changed, then these can be used as is.

The final numbers (''network'' and ''broadcast'') can be set by simply using 0 and 1 respectively for the last number. Finally, the ''gateway'' is the IP address of the router used to access the internet. This will work for both a regular computer and can be accessed from the router settings. The ''gateway'' should NOT be set for a '''Virtual Machine''' through virtual machinebox.
