Config on /etc/network/interface

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 lamp server amd64
only one NIC


Connection
Server --> Router --> DSL Modem --> ISP

The router is supplied by ISP and password-locked by ISP. I suppose 192.168.0.1 is the gateway. How can I check it?


Fixed IP
220.232.213.178

IP address reserved for server on Router
192.168.0.10

DNS
202.14.67.4/14


$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp



Now I'll change the second part after "auto eth0" as:
auto eth0
iface eth0 init static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.255
network ???
broadcast ???
gateway ???
# dns -* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nemserver 202.14.67.4 204.14.67.14


Please advise what shall I enter for
network ???
broadcast ???
gateway ???


Shall I put the fix IP (202.232.213.178) here? It is for external only.


TIA

Hi falko,


Tks for your advice. I got my problem sorted out already.

Running DHCP
$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0



Now /etc/network/interfaces
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

I must have the line "iface eth0 inet static". W/o this line it can't work.

What is the use of this line? Tks
