Raspberry Pi 3 DHCP help

[opethdisciple]

Brand new Pi v3.

I'm trying to get it some network connectivity.

It has booted up out of the box with a 192.168.1.25 IP whilst we use 10.2.1.x in the office.

In the /etc/network/interfaces file it is set to: iface eth0 inet manual

I've tried setting iface eth0 inet dhcp and restarting but no dice.

Eventually we will need to give t a static IP, but I am initially trying to get it operational via DHCP.

Anyone have any ides?

I have obviously looked at the official documentation.

OK, not to worry, I plugged it in to the telephone network.

But.... stll no DHCP.

/etc/network/interfaces file it is set to: iface eth0 inet dhcp

Picks up 169 address...

I assume your interface file is as follows

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

also run

dhclient eth0

try restarting the NIC - obviously not when connected via SSH or Telnet

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

Next problem is I have managed to install chromium, but it wont run.

Any ideas?

I ran sudo apt-get install chromium-browser.

It installed hat looks like Chromium and see the menu entry.

But it doesn't open when I run it.

check permissions of the executable - try running it as root to see if it runs, if it does then permissions issue
