Can’t understand Protocols

by curetgabriel . Updated 16 years, 5 months ago

Hi,
I try installing Ubuntu Server 8.10, and i tell u, installation when just fine. I get stuck on the part where u need to configure /etc/network/interfaces, that, because i need the server to have a static IP. I have ADSL connection, and IP’s are assing by the modem/router (Thompson SpeedTouch). IP’s are configure as “start 10.0.0.34 – end 10.0.0.134” “sbnetmask 255.255.255.0” that’s in the modem/router, and obvious it gives me the router IP number. Now, if i want to assing a static IP to the server it should be some like “10.0.0.3” SM “255.255.255.0” and what is Broadcast, Network and some other’s that has to be edited with “VIM”. I mean, im from windows xp, and i want to host my own web page, and mail server, plus some sharing files locally, maybe log-on remotelly… that’s all i want; but this part is killing me. anyone willing to help please? thanks in advanced.
