[9.000][ANSWERED] Bcase set to 0.0.0.0

Hi All,

I was playing around with 9.000 with static ip to brush up my understanding... but my ISP complained I was spamming their router [:S]

They say the issue is because I'm using the an incorrect broadcast address.
They asked for an ifconfig output which I provided.

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:56:08:6B:A3  

          inet addr:91.121.217.18  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.255

          inet6 addr: fe80::250:56ff:fe08:6ba3/64 Scope:Link

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX packets:5680710 errors:0 dropped:34 overruns:0 frame:0

          TX packets:9385084 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 

          RX bytes:1307332196 (1246.7 Mb)  TX bytes:12986148619 (12384.5 Mb)



eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:56:02:27:F3  

          inet addr:188.165.142.66  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.255

          inet6 addr: fe80::250:56ff:fe02:27f3/64 Scope:Link

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX packets:191591767 errors:0 dropped:30 overruns:0 frame:0

          TX packets:346758421 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 

          RX bytes:38529792169 (36744.8 Mb)  TX bytes:466337010392 (444733.6 Mb)

They came back to me saying the following:

91.121.217.18 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255 - the broadcast should be 91.121.217.18 not 0.0.0
188.165.142.66 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255 the broadcast should be 188.165.142.66 not 0.0.0

I have no idea what I configured wrong and how to fix this.

Some more information:
- I'm using uplink balancing
- interfaces configured like this:

Any ideas?

Looks like the first should be /24, and the second maybe /23.
(based on the IP and gateway)

Interesting, setting it to something other than /32 or /31 (which makes sense)
I get a non 0.0.0.0 broadcast address... but none of the combinations get me the desired.

91.121.217.18 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255 - the broadcast should be 91.121.217.18 not 0.0.0
188.165.142.66 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255 the broadcast should be 188.165.142.66 not 0.0.0

I'm shooting the question back to them for an answer. Thanks so far!

They got back to me already, they tell me to configure it like so:
DEVICE="eth0"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="static"
IPADDR="91.121.217.18 "
NETMASK="255.255.255.255"
BROADCAST="91.121.217.18"
