      Hello,

      I have a problem with my Retropie/Raspberry. I flashed the SD card with the latest version.
      Only i can not get the ethernet to work,

      It gives me a ipadress of 169.254.9.111, so it can not find my DHCP server i think.
      I tried giving it a static IP adres

      i changed /etc/network/interfaces to iface eth0 inet static.

      and added the following to /etc/dhcpcd.conf

      interface eth0
      static ip_address=192.168.1.128/150
      static routers=192.168.1.1
      static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

      but it does not change anything. Does anyone have any idea ?

        @nextria 192.168.1.128/150 is not a valid IP. I am assuming standard private IP addressing and your subnet is probably going to be 255.255.255.0 so your IP should be 192.168.1.128/24

        As to why it's not giving you a DHCP, I have no idea. Have you tried another cable and port on your router?

          @markyh444 hey, i tried that ipadres too, but it does not work either.

          I redownloaded the img, and flashed it to the sdcard but no luck.
          Also tried other cable and port, could it be my pi's ethernet is broken ?

            @nextria maybe, have you tried configuring the WiFi? Do your other devices connect to the router fine and get assigned a DHCP address?

                @nextria I'd say dodgy LAN port or cable then.
