UBC Mathematics: MathNet FAQ [Network Parameters]

Question: What network parameters do I need to know to set up a host?
Author: Joseph Tam

Do not use any network address that is not assigned to you by the IT staff. If you use an internet address not assigned to you, you may be in conflict with another host and cause problems. If the IT staff finds an unregistered IP, it will be considered a breach of our usage policy, and the user may be sanctioned.

If you have been allocated a static internet (IP) address, you may need additional parameters. Please pick the appropriate settings:

	Department network (MATH, MATX building):
		Range:      137.82.36.0-255
		Netmask:    255.255.255.0
		Gateway:    137.82.36.254
		DNS server: 137.82.36.65, (optional) 137.82.36.1

	Undergraduate network (MATH, MATX building):
		Range:      137.82.18.0-255
		Netmask:    255.255.255.0
		Gateway:    137.82.18.254
		DNS server: 137.82.36.65, (optional) 137.82.36.1

	LSK-Undergraduate (LSK, vacant) network:
		Range:      142.103.49.0-255
		Netmask:    255.255.255.0
		Gateway:    142.103.49.254
		DNS server: 137.82.36.65, (optional) 137.82.36.1

	LSK-FluidLab/Graduate (LSK126,LSK203) network:
		Range:      142.103.197.0-127
		Netmask:    255.255.255.128
		Gateway:    142.103.197.126
		DNS server: 137.82.36.65, (optional) 137.82.36.1

	Auditorium Annex Graduate (AUDX) network:
		Range:      142.103.197.128-255
		Netmask:    255.255.255.128
		Gateway:    142.103.197.254
		DNS server: 137.82.36.65, (optional) 137.82.36.1

Additionally, you might also need to tell us where your host is located so that we can activate the network port in your room.
