Introduction
In networking ,all computers are identified by using its IP, It is a unique ID for each system that are connected to a network.  Assigning  of this system IP is mainly handled by a router. [Broad band modem is a kind of router].The router uses DHCP [Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ] to assign IP to each new system connected to its network, The assigning of this ip is for a short period of time , Means if we disconnect and connect again we may get a new IP each time . To use same IP for ever we have to set static ip for each machine in router settings . 
Description
It is very simple to set static IP to a Linux system, 
  • Navigate to to root folder ( / )  use cd ..  or cd <path> command  to navigate between directory .
  • Go to  cd /etc/network/
  • open  vi interfaces
  •  change DHCP to STATIC
  • Put ADDRESS <IP>
  • netmask <255.0. .>
  • gateway < Gateway ip >
  • Press ESC
  • Enter :wq
  • [ If shows write error use sudo chmod 777 interfaces to change the permission ]
  • type sudo reboot
