Towards the bottom is a line for Broadcast with a line of question marks. I don't know what to put in.
Also please check and see if I have everything else correct.

When I installed Redhat 7.2 previously I had to try a dozen times cause I couldn't get the internet connection to work.

First off I have a Linksys router with DHCP turned on.

Here is my router information

Router:

LAN:
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
DHCP: Enabled


WAN:
IP Address: 24.31.216.77
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 24.31.216.1
DNS Primary: 24.31.195.64
DNS Secondary: 24.31.195.65
DNS 3rd: none


The reason I assign my computers a address is so I can forward specific ports through the hardware firewall so certain machines are doing certain duties.

Redhat 7.3
(fill in the blanks)

Network Configuration
---------------------------------------------------------------
(unchecked) Configure using DHCP
(checked) Activate on boot
---------------------------------------------------------------
IP Address: 192.168.1.101
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Network: 192.168.1.1
Broadcast: ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hostname: Linux Redhat 7.3 K7S5A
Gateway: 24.31.216.1
Primary DNS: 24.31.195.64
Secondary DNS: 24.31.195.65
Tertiary DNS: (none)

broadcast = 192.168.1.255

for broadcast take the IP addy, and replace the last section with 255

there is a reason for it, a site with documentation is illuding me at the moment

thank you very much my first time installing Redhat 7.2 it took me a dozen tries to get it to work and I never knew what had happened to make it work.
Finally I did get it to get internet but I am still a noobie and never got to trying to connect to other windows computers.
Now I will soon have a number of linux machines and I have a steep learning curve to get anywhere close to speed.

Thanks best regards,
