Solved Restoring Debian Install from Windows

[benratty]

I have just restored backup from Windows to Debian as instructed however the Debian install still gets DHCP address and whilst I can manage the change of local IP address change via firewall when I restored the system it automatically picks up the default external gateway, this is an issue as our 3CX PBX has its own dedicated internet and firewall connection and therefore a different gateway address.

I have set the correct external fixed IP when restoring but now the phone system is only accessible via internal IP address as it now has the wrong gateway address and as I cannot access any network settings there is no way to change GW?

Is there anyway round this or a way when installing to force correct gateway?

OK, found it. Logged in as root and changed /etc/network/interface

Had just realised I had entered a root password when setting up from ISO and was able to change both gateway and local IP address then change local IP settings that appear in the parameters page on the web console and now all is working great.
