Edgy Server network setup

[megadyptes]

Folks,

I'm trying to set up an Edgy server following this HOWTO: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/reg...055&i=65970081

I've got to the section where it describes how to set up the network, but have a question. I currently have a netgear modem/router that currently acts as DHPC with all the attached PC's assigned a fixed IP address. If want to keep the router 'as is' how do I set up the network section of the server?

No prizes for guessing i'm new at this sort of thing

well, if you have set it up to use fixed ip address then simply enter your fixed ip address details like IP address, subnet mask, standard gateway

So where it has these entries, I just substitute those like-for-like from the ones shown on the router admin page, yes? Only it's that I can't see a reference to boradcast address anywhere.

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

What network settings does your router admin page show?
