Manual configuration

[kbunt]

Is there a sticky, tutorial, manual, certain posts that explain and describe this info?:

IP:
Broadcast:
Netmask:
Gateway:
Domain:
Primary DNS:
Secondary DNS:

I gather you type in the static IP for IP. I'm not sure of the rest.

So, IP would be 192.168.1.XX (where XX is the IP address number you choose for a static IP and the '1' is for certain routers like a Linksys since the default is 1 - right?)

Netmask is 255.255.255.0

What goes in for Gateway? The Default Gateway? Each attempt and method in Kubuntu (KNetwork Manager, Manual Configuration, Kwifi, wlassistant) would not allow 192.168.1.1 which is what is used for Linksys routers. What am I doing wrong?

In my Windows setup, I use Primary DNS of 192.168.1.1 and (Default) Gateway of same 192.168.1.1 yet this is rejected in Kubuntu/Linux.

I don't get it. Is this all applicable if setting up for wireless?

The last two sets of numbers must match the network eg:

if the router is 192.168.1.1 then the address's must follow the same set 192.168.1.xxx

The broadcast address is just the whole network address group 192.168.1.0

Netmask is usually 255.255.255.0

Domain....Whatever

DNS would be you router

Some routers have 192.168.1.1 and others have 192.168.0.1. It doesn't matter as long as the rest of the network follows suit. Wireless is still using the same network so it must also follow suit. The only difference with wireless is the wpa or wep and essid.
