I am trying to manually alter my /etc/network/interfaces
file in Ubuntu.
I am using these as a baseline:
To configure a dynamic IP address
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Or configure a static IP
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.14
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
Then once all settings have been entered and saved run this
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
I want to alter my wireless card, which according to ifconfig is NOT eth0
but wlp16s0
so the 1st thing I would do is change that. My only question is what value would I input in broadcast
I know that the address
is the IP I want to hardcode, gateway
is my router IP, netmask
is my DNS, network
is my router IP
What for Broadcast
