I am working with a Raspberry PI running Jessie and I'm not happy about the solutions I found to change it from DHCP to a fixed IP address. Editing the file /etc/dhcpcd.conf does not seem to work correctly. Can I go back to the old method of editing /etc/network/interfaces Or is there a better way of setting a fixed IP on Jessie?
Raspbian Jessie (not Debian Jessie) uses systemd by default. I found the following instructions worked well on my R-Pi 3 board:
