Static IP configured, but DHCP still getting used - Raspberry Pi Forums

on fresh install of latest version of raspbian (2015-05-05), i'm trying configure network interface (wired) static ip. reason, in addition static ip i've configured, when raspberry pi boots it's still requesting , using dynamic ip address well.

i've edited /etc/network/interfaces file contains this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

when reboot, see these messages:

know why it's still requesting ip address dhcp?

/etc/network/interfaces file not used latest raspbian using `dhcpcd`

raspberrypi-net-mods package badly broken.

misguided/half-baked attempt make easier setup wifi via gui.

if search site find lots of discussion attempts use static address dhcpcd
