Okay, here’s what I’ve got on the network so far. Note the first one in the list returns the loopback adapter (Ubuntu Server 14.04):

I’ve tried changing the order in etc/network/interfaces, no luck. Things look promising while it’s starting up like below. In fact, it shows up twice! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/e/e0667f7e9182e9daf8aa7527c6a3ab43b5c3b9a2.png)  

But, alas, it reverts back to the loopback adapter after Ignition is finished starting.

Any ideas anyone?

The Gateway that is listing as the loopback…have you tried setting the Network Bind Interface in Redundancy Settings? I have noticed that Ubuntu machines have a terrible time figuring out their own IP address, and you have to explicitly set the actual address to see it in places like the client launcher.

Thanks, Matt. That did the trick!
