Post subject:  Can't set up static IP

Just set up a linode (debian) and wanted to change from DHCP to the static IP. Ifconfig -a looks good. Can ping my own addr, the gateway,
but not the nameservers. From the outside, the company-assigned
name resolves to the IP, but can't be pinged. Any help appreciated...

Thx,
Lord

Resolved by gentlefolk over IRC -- turns out you need to set
broadcast mask different from default (last octet 255). Maybe
worth mentioning in some FAQ...
