My daughter has a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian. A while back I used some tutorial I found to set a static IP for her because she was having internet problems. Recently we changed up our home network, and we have a different subnet.

How do I get rid of the static IP? I have a lot of android & windows experience but for anything Linux related I need every step spelled out for me.

  • What version of Raspbian are you using Stretch, Jessie or Wheezy? The contents of /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/dhcpcd.conf would help give an answer too – mintyfreshpenguin Oct 25 '17 at 21:54

This is one of the reasons for NOT setting static IP addesses.

You have not told us which version of Raspbian, but it is probably Jessie.

There are 2 common methods of setting static IP addess, they are described in How do I set up networking/WiFi/Static IP

If you reverse the process you should be able to restore normal operation.

It is likely you modified /etc/network/interfaces, and the default contents for Jessie and Stretch are listed in the link.
