December 29, 200916 yr Since my network consists of a switch and some patch cables, I am lacking a DHCP server, and therefore I believe I need to use a static IP address. But exactly what do I enter for these different fields? Is the IP address I assign completely arbitrary? # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=yes IPADDR= NETMASK= GATEWAY=
December 29, 200916 yr check the settings of your windows machine by typing ipconfig at the command line. Just change the last number of its IP address to something you haven't used already. Make sure you match the mask. If you have a router you will need to enter its IP as the gateway ifconfig shows you the same from linux or osx.
