Static IP Config

Hello All,

Could someone please verify my static IP settings are correct?

I have done a lot of reading and think I have it right but honestly I am not 100% sure.

I used Falco's how to http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.10-ispconfig-3 .

Here are the settings I am using:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.70
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.254

I am not exactly sure what info is needed to verify this info.

The gateway IP I got from my router/modem (it is labeled IP address in the config screen for the router)

Thanks in advance.

John

 

Looks ok (if 192.168.1.254 is your router's local IP).

 

Thanks - I have done a lot of reading and thought I had it right but I was second guessing myself.

Now I can continue with troubleshooting some of the other issues.

For others who are wondering about their setup this link may help. http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch02_:_Introduction_to_Networking#How_Subnet_Masks_Group_IP_Addresses_into_Networks
