Problems following - Perfect Setup Debian Lenny ISPConfig3

Hello all,

I'm new here and am learning how to set up a home web/mail server and this seemed like a good tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-lenny-ispconfig3-p3. However, i've only gotten to the "Configure the network" part, and i've already seemed to mess it up. I'm sure it's the settings i chose for /etc/network/interfaces. This is what i have:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

The server shows up as 192.168.1.255 on my router (i think) however, when i try and ssh to it, i get a "permission denied on port 22" when i try and login as my user. I only have the tower, and initially set it up using a buddy's keyboard across the hall and our tv, so without ssh i can't currently reconfigure anything till tomorrow, but ideas welcome.

Thanks for any help in advance,
Greg

 

yes, sorry, those lines are tabbed in

 

Does

Code:

ifconfig

show that eth0's IP is 192.168.1.100?
Is 192.168.1.1 your router's local IP?

 

You will need to do this after the configuring of the /etc/network/interfaces


Type this:

/etc/init.d/networking restart


Now if you type ifconfig as falko has said above you should see your IP Address as 192.168.1.100
