    Howdy folks,

    I just tried to set up my first Linux Server. As the other Boxes are already on KUbuntu edgy Eft, I followed Falko's HowTo to set up my Ubuntu Edgy Server.everything worked fine, but at the point where you have to configure your /etc/network/interfaces, I must have a done mistake, because eth0 wont come up. Here are the details:

    $route gives me that on my Notebook:

    Kernel IP Routentabelle
    Ziel Router Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
    192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
    default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0


    The /e/n/interfaces on the server looks like this:

    address 192.168.0.100
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.2.0
    broadcast 192.168.2.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1

    I assume that the gateway ist still my DSL-Router having the IP 192.168.2.1, the netmask is truely 255.255.255.0, I also assume that the network is correct, too. I guess that the entry for *broadcast* is wrong, but as said, its just a guess.

    If I say /etc/init.d/network restart I get this output:
    SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
    Unable to bring up eth0

    Hopefully someone is likely happy to give me little hand to get that box running.

    TIA
    Niels

    Try
    Code:
    address 192.168.0.100
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.2.0
    broadcast 192.168.2.[B][COLOR="Red"]255[/COLOR][/B]
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    instead.
