I am trying to setup an Ubuntu Server (non-graphical). However when I try to assign a Static IP address to the device instead of the default DHCP -- the system keeps telling me that the gateway is 0.0.0.0 (undefined) and as a result, my attempt to change my IP address fails.

If any of you guys have experienced something similar to this, I would appreciate the help.

PS - I am testing this using a Virtual computer, in addition the virtual computer is connect via WiFi. I understand this is not the best connection method, however I simply want to get a feel for the process before I commit to the real deal.

Reset to default

You have nice manual for server network configuration here.

Also you can add default gw with fallowing command

sudo route add default gw ip_address_of_gw

This command is only a temporary solution, until you restart server.
