@Thuemaychuaonet,

If your server is connected only via WiFi, the network interface will likely have a different name, such as `wlan0` or something similar, depending on your system and its configuration.

The steps to set a static IP address and configure the network are similar, but you’ll need to use the correct interface name for your WiFi connection.

You can find the name of your WiFi interface by running the `ip a` command in the terminal. Once you have the correct interface name, you can follow the same process to configure your network settings.

There isn’t an “eth0” on my server because it is connected by WIFI only.

The time will come when you will need to configure networking on your system. Unlike desktop machines where you can use dynamic IP addresses, on a server infrastructure, you will need to set up a static IP address (at least in most cases).

Terrible - and my 'linux distro' isn't the same as yours, there's no '/etc/sysconfig/' folder.

Hi Ravi,

In Ubuntu 20.04 there is no interfaces file they switch to netplan. If you can update this article to include the new change it will help a lot.

thanks
