How do I configure a static IP address on a Debian Lenny server? I thought that was the correct information. Code: # The primary network interface # allow-hotplug eth0 #iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 208.33.73.159 netmask 255.255.255.192 gateway 208.33.73.129 It does not allow me to actually connect to the internet. I can get this setup in my Ubuntu Desktop just fine. Any ideas on what I am missing? This is the output of ifconfig: Code: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:85:ea:d2:d2 inet addr:208.33.73.159 Bcast:208.33.73.191 Mask:255.255.255.192 inet6 addr: fe80::211:85ff:feea:d2d2/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:645 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:805 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:119708 (116.9 KiB) TX bytes:109296 (106.7 KiB) Interrupt:31 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1262 (1.2 KiB) TX bytes:1262 (1.2 KiB) Thanks.
Are the netmask and gateway correct? Did your hoster give you these details? Here's a useful network calculator: http://subnetmask.info/
