OK so you did netcardconfig at the command line right? If you have a static i.p then you should know what it is right?

The dns numbers are i.p. addresses of Domain Name Servers (they "resolve", or, link www.whatever.org to an i.p. address) and you would normally have a primary and a secondary. You've entered those in as well right?

Wirf is spot on about the broadcast address.

See if that does it.
