or if other here more experience would like to confrim please do


Quote:
*1.IP address (ok)
*2.Default Gateway (ok)

*3.Network Mask (In windows I can only find subset mask is this the same thing)

Netmask would be the same as your subsetmask from windows, normally something
like 255.255.255.0

*4.Name Server (In Windows I have dns server is this the same thing)

Yes DNS is the name server normally you just need the 1st DNS but you can also
put in the second DNS's IP as a backup

*5.Broadcast Address ( I don't know what this is or where to find it)

Broadcast is the actual network IP. ie. if your ip address is 192.168.1.100
your broadcast or network is 192.168.1.0


These are the settings I have on my windows connection.

ip address
default gateway
subsetmask
dns servers (X3)
dhcp server
mac address

any help much appreciated from an absolute beginner, thanks.

Hope that helps at least a little.
