No it's not...it's a network address (e.g. broadcast), not a host
address.
but
could not have gotten the address from my router because it delivers ip
address of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199. I have tried to use static
address but still 10.43.42.0. Now is that a default address, that is not
use able to me. My router will not except 10.43.42.0 addresses. Fedora
11 works as it should. I get a 192.168.0.* addresses. I wish I had
tested this sooner. I didn't do that. I will test sooner on 13.
Use the wireless tools and verify that the wireless is associated with
YOUR access point, e.g. "iwconfig wlan0" and verify that there is an
ESSID shown and a valid MAC address following "Access Point:". It may
be you're connected to someone else's access point, and hence their
network. However, any IP address ending in ".0" is going to be a
broadcast address and is invalid as a host address.
