I’m using newest VMWare x86 vmdk buster image. Tested multiple times.

Whenever I set static IP for IPv4, the whole network stop working. Can’t ping anything, network test always fail.

Disabling IPv6 did not hep. Changing DNS servers did not help .(Ex. change DNS from quad9 to Google)

Changing timezone also didn’t help. It makes using DietPi as a server impossible.

IIRC, it’s been like this even a year ago.
