The Perfect Server - Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) [ISPConfig 3]-help

Hi guys im new to debian, i normaly use fedora

but anyhow the probelm i have is most prob a simple one.

Im following the The Perfect Server - Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) [ISPConfig 3]

and im stuck on this

Because i normly use the fedora one im a bit lost about the numer of addresses in this part.

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100 -i presume i put my ip here wich is 192.168.2.8
netmask 255.255.255.0- that is norm so i put 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0 - no idea what to put here
broadcast 192.168.0.255 - no idea what to put here

on most instalations i have done it

Ip address 192.168.2.8
net mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.2.1
dns - 197.79.143.58

but anyhow that is the part im stuck on

Here is an example of my details

ipaddress - - 192-168-2-8
Netmask - -255.255.255.0
Gateway - - 192.168.2.1
dns address 197.78.114.58(changed from real ones)
197.78.114.62 (changed from real ones)

thank you for the help in advance

 

address 192.168.2.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.2.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
gateway 192.168.2.1

The resolv.conf file typically contains the IP addresses of nameservers (DNS name resolvers) that will attempt to translate names into addresses for any node available on the network. There will be a line or lines that look like this:


nameserver 12.34.56.78
nameserver 12.34.56.79

/etc/init.d/networking restart

 

Thank you for your reply but i still have no idea on what to put in the two places i have listed.

Many thanks

 

Network: Should be the very beginning of your network. It would start at 0 even though your router is usually 1.

Broadcast would be the end of the network.

 

Thank you again for your quick reply

so it should look like this ?

address 192.168.2.8 <<(wich i asigned in my router to forward ports to)
netmask 255.255.255.0 <<wich is standard
network 192.168.2.2 <<ip pool startign address (i hope there will nto be a conflict using that because i use that for a static ip for my main pc)
broadcast 192.168.2.100 <<<ip pool ending address
gateway 192.168.2.1 <<<which is set by my router to aceses internet

i gather i get the settings from within my router(i have a belkin n1 vision)

This is what i see when i check inside my router at lan settings
IP Pool Starting Address > 192.168.2.2
IP Pool Ending Address > . 192.168.2.100

IS this correct ?

 

Thank you very much worked it out

 

My router is x.x.x.1 and I always have the network line set to x.x.x.0 and it works out just fine.
