Hi folks, Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64 Now I'm running Static IP (fixed IP) Connection; Ubuntu server --> Router --> Modem --> ISP Which file I have to edit to setup broadband connection? TIA The Router is supplied by ISP with pre-set Virtual IP; 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.60 If making the connection without router; Ubuntu server --> Modem --> ISP What shall be the settings. Tks B.R. satimis
Why do you want to leave out the router? I guess 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.60 is the DHCP range for your local network, so you can assign another IP address to your Ubuntu system, e.g. 192.168.0.61. This can be done in /etc/network/interfaces. Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p3
Hi falko, Tks for your advice and link. Just for curiosity. I'm planning to build a working ISP server with CentOS as OS on an AMD Athlon64 X2 AM2 box. The static broadband shall be used solely by the server. In such a case I don't need the router. I called ISP about the router in order to learn more about it. The reply was "don't touch it". If I understood your advice correctly. On a 2nd Ubuntu box plugged on the router I have to edit /etc/network/interfaces as follow; Code: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.61 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 ????? Remark: ISP preset router as follow: Code: Suggested Virtual IP: 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.60 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 NetMask: 255.255.255.192 DNS Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx WAN IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NetMask: 255.255.255.255 What about On 3rd Ubuntu box "192.168.0.???" etc. ? Shall I make change on "NetMask"??? TIA B.R. satimis
It's Code: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.61 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 The leading spaces are important.
You can plug in a third and fourth PC into it. Either have their network settings configured automatically with DHCP, or assign static IP addresses to them (as shown before).
