Configure Static IP
here
I think I get this part````
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.254
if I am understanding it right the only part of my address that changes is y in this example````
x.x.x.y
the next part I is the part I am haveing truble with
192.168.0.1 server1.example.com server1
now I know that my ip starts it off what do I put in the rest
I just got the domain
wuld I use somethign like
192.168.0.1 somename1.daneth.info somename1
and if so do I need to do any thing with it at godaddy? like point it to a name server?
I am shure I will have more questions later but I wanted to know what to put in this particular file be for going to far
thanks for any help you can give to the noob
btw I am running Ubuntu 8.10 if that is needed to know

For DNS, you need at least an A record (here's the current one - pointing to the parking server):
daneth.info. 3530 IN A 68.178.232.100
either on GoDaddy's DNS of on Linode's. If you use Linode's DNS, you need to set Linode's server's as the DNS servers at GoDaddy.
