The broadcast address is wrong You need to think binary as in base 2 It should be 10.0.1.255 as your prefix is 24. So viewing your ip address octets (base 8) left most bit of your ip is the "network address/lan address" ( 10.0.1 ) The broadcast address is "all ones" or 255. So that makes the broadcast address network address plus all ones or 10.0.1.255 > > I borrowed that file straight from the Fedora installation.

The domain line is your domain name in this case hsd1.nh.comcast.net The nameserver should be the address for the DNS server that provides name resolving for your lan, which in this case is your router 10.0.1.1. /etc/host file 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.2 localhost.localdomain 10.0.1.31 <your computers name>.hsd1.nh.comcast.net change <your computers name> to the name you gave your computer. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
