Network-Broadcast Address..

[Winston at Ubuntulinux]

Is it via DHCP or Static?

If Static, edit /etc/network/interfaces file. Mine looks like this.

[quote]
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.70.3
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.70.0
        broadcast 192.168.70.255
        gateway 192.168.70.1
[/quote]

Then, ifdown and ifup as usual.

HTH,

Winston

May be just a type but .... did you use "Sudo"? Normal users can't
change ifconfig settings.
