      Linux is really hard uhhhh,..................................................

      Not really, just like anything you have to learn it before using it. Windows is incredibly hard for Linux people who are used to the easy, simple world of configuration text files with all data nice and obvious. Windows is very complex by comparison.

      This is so true!

        Did you change the interface from DHCP to static in the config? Also which GSM gateway, it could also be that changes need to be wrote in some special way as to be stored to non-volatile memory.

          Also what is happening if you save the file and then restart the network service? does it take or is it still using the old ip?

            No single networking conf file in the Red Hat, Suse, Fedora world. It's by interface.

            And most firewall/gateway devices seem to be.

            It's
            /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-device where you'd put eth0, eth1 etc (what ever your device is named, ifconfig should help in finding it) in place of device.

              He's trolling. I've spent half an hour trying to work with him. He's just messing with us. I've explained the issues and he is just being ridiculous. This is some proprietary Linux garbage on some hobby system. There is no way for us to help him and he absolutely refuses to listen or let us help him in any way.

                No, this isn't a real gateway or anything like that. He's making those terms up. It's a cheap, hobby PBX from some vendor that doesn't even list such a product. The only file on the machine that holds the IP address is some XML file that looks like it is meant to be edited by a web tool. There is no safe way to make changes to it. I explained what to do to fix it with the web interface and he has no interest in actually fixing it.

                    Wow...

                    Well if you want to try out a real Linux PBX load up freepbx on a Raspberry PI or something.. Would probably do better than a home grade device.

                      See, this is what I mean? I explained over and over that Linux wasn't a thing and that his issues have nothing to do with Linux. He knows not to say this, but repeats it over and over anyway.

                      No matter how many times I explained that what he has is nothing like any normal Linux and none of the config files are there because it is completely proprietary he refuses to tell me what device he has, what OS he is running, how he acquired it and just demands, over and over, to be told the "standard way to do this in Linux."

                      For thirty minutes I've explained that there is no "standard way to do anything" and that he cant keep asking that. Yet, there he does it again.

                      The system is proprietary, knowing Linux has nothing to do with it.

                        I mentioned that he needed a business class PBX too. What he is running is some toy that can't be supported.

                              What's the Linux distro in question? We need to know that in order to help.

                                        We've been trying to help, asking you to provide more information so that we can actually be of help, and you refuse to help yourself. At this point, we can draw only one of two conclusions: either you're totally incompetent and an idiot, or you're a troll. Now it's possible both are true, but at this point it's one or the other. So which is it?

                                          I can respect that if it's not but the lack of any attempt at proper grammar shows to me this person obviously doesn't care, which indicates troll. If it was someone trying but not doing so hot, I give kudos for the effort. This is someone making an effort to deliberately use BAD grammar.
