Ultra 1 networking??

[mvdw]

Hi all:

I have an ultra 1 which I had setup with a DHCP server in place, and the networking all worked no problem. Now I want to move it to an area with no DHCP server, so I need to supply it with a static address; I've tried editing /etc/network/interfaces, to look something like this (it's powered down at the moment, so can't confirm exact wording):

# primary network
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.3.30
netmask 255.255.255.0

Unfortunately, I can't seem to ping anything else on the network. It must be something basic I've left off - any ideas?

maybe add gateway, broadcaast and network. also check the status of the interface.

Problem solved - it was as simple as an incorrect network cable (stupid me put in a crossover).

Cheers,
mvdw
