ip address

[koffi]

i've put a new ethernet card on the pc with its driver
installed. i also configure tcp/ip to use static address,
but when i do ipconfig/all it does not give the any ip
address in the result.
when ping 127.0.0.1 it is successful but when i ping with
the static address it answer that it is unreachable.
it don' t use a dhcp server yet.
i need a static address to configure DNS server for home
network.

Thanks for helping me

First, a ping to 127.0.0.1 should always work, it's a special address
meaning "this computer". The rest is confusing though. Are you
saying you entered an IP address in the network TCP/IP settings,
clicked OK until you exited, retarted the system and it shows no IP
when you do an IPCONFIG? What IP address did you use? Is it still in
the static setting?

Check the TCP/IP settings again, and use an address of 192.168.1.10 to
test (netmask 255.255.255.0). Exit by choosing OK, then restart the
system. Post the full IPCONFIG /ALL display.
