Hi, I'm trying to install a home server that will host my own website. I cama across this page on my search: http://www.howtoforge.com/set-up-ubuntu-server-with-ehcp-lamp-dns-ftp-mail-p3 Which is how I ended up here. The info that gets me is, every support page i find mentions editing the DNS numbers. For example: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 How do i find these addresses and nameserver? Thank You!
With SSH connect to the IP of your server and read the Page2 of the howto you mentioned http://www.howtoforge.com/set-up-ubuntu-server-with-ehcp-lamp-dns-ftp-mail-p2 Bye
run this command Code: nano /etc/network/interfaces and your output will be Code: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static [COLOR="Red"]address 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1[/COLOR] there are 2 ways i know to find these numbers. 1) if you are running windows xp go to the control panel internet connections and double left click the connection and you will see this inforamtion on the second tab 2) is to log into your router and it will look like this if you have a linksys like i do. now use the numbers u just found and replace these numbers then save it and run the rest of your install Code: [COLOR="Red"]address 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1[/COLOR] kwick
