cant connect to outsidet network after setting static ip

[shon.b...@gmail.com]

so i have vm that i had network connectivity
as part of the guide that is listed below
i set a static ip to the vm, after which i cant connect to anything
even after statically binding the ip to the previous ip
but to no avail
iv tried to connect the vm to both sys-firewall and sys-net directly
any ping attempt from said vm returns destination host unreachable
the other vm's are unaffected and still have network connectivity

You don't say what version of Qubes you are using, but that guide will
only work with R3.2. If that's what you are using, go to VM Settings for
that VM and look at the Networking section under Basic. Make sure the
IP/subnet/gateway you are using matches the IP/subnet/gateway there.

Another solution you can try looking into, is that this could be because you're having both the Qubes tools trying to set an automatic IP, in addition to your manual adjusted IP, at the same time. I.e. in Windows VM's if you need to use manual config, you need to disable the Qubes network tools service first, so it doesn't create conflict with the manual adjusted IP. Something similar probably needs to be disabled in your other VM; thoough it might help if you mention what OS this VM is?

If it's a typical Qubes template, then you can just copy the the template, and try uninstall the Qubes tools networking. But only do this in a cloned Qubes templates, don't do something like this in any important Qubes templates, because this is untested, and if it goes wrong, then you can just simply delete the cloned template, rather than have a major headache on your hand.
