tanks for your help
It works fine now. And i like the challenge to get more fimiliar with linux :)

Yeah, its a basic linux permission thing. You are logging in as the user 'admin' who doesn't have write permission. The only user who does have write permission is 'root'. If you ssh in as admin and then use the 'sudo' command you can do things as root (kind of like "Run As" in windows). So if you ran 'sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces' it would run vi as root and when you save it would work.

Another tip is, if you just want to get a root shell, so that everything you do is done as the root user you can type 'sudo -s' (CTRL+D to log out). But you have to be careful, as it is possible to really make a mess in a hurry :)

Ideally, once we get the bugs worked out, most users should be able to do everything they need without needing shell access.

Actually, if you wait just a bit (a day or so), we should have new versions of all of our apps, including the fix to the problem you helped us find. :)

Thanks for your feed back and good luck!

thank jou for your response
I tried to edit the files with winscp and ssh secure shell client even tried the console with vi. But after i logged in and open then files it is not possible to save them i can't even change the files from read to write. I don't have enough rights to edit the files. I am not very fimiliar with linux so with the help of internet i tried to solve this problem bur so far with no succes. Could you help me in the right direction?

Oh, one additional note. If you manually change IP addresses in this manner you will need to change the Base URL in the PunBB configuration otherwise the styles won't work. To change this Base URL

1. Login into PunBB as the administrator
2. Go to the PunBB administration page (Administration link next to Logout)
3. Choose 'Options' in the Admin menu on the left hand side.
4. Fix the BaseURL to have the correct Static IP address
5. Click 'Save Changes' all the way at the bottom.

Hi Mr Q.
Thanks for your feedback. There is a problem with our IP address validation code in that release. So you will have to set your static IP address by hand. If you are up to that follow these instructions:

1. Switch to DHCP and get a valid IP address.
2. Register your JumpBox if you have not already
3. Enable SSH
4. SSH into the JumpBox as the admin user (using the password you set in the administration interface)
5. Edit the /etc/network/interfaces file so the eth0 section looks like this (substituting your correct IP settings):

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
     address 192.168.1.2
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     gateway 192.168.1.1

Reboot your JumpBox and it should come up with the new IP address.

ip am using a network with two ranges over the same cable
The first range is dhcp and the other range i set manualy
When i set up punbb it gets a dhcp adress but when i want to change this adress to the other range it responds with adress already taken This is not true I could use any ip adres i want it stil responds with ip adress already taken. when i disable dhcp for a while it would not make a difference.
Any suggestions?
