Is there a way, to change the broadcast address for network config via GUI?
if I set my network config to "auto", connection establishes with following information for IPv4:
- IP-Address: 192.168.0.5
- Broadcast-Address: 192.168.1.255
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.1.1
- Primary DNS: 192.168.1.1
- Secondary DNS: 192.168.0.1
If I set it to "manual" and fill out:
- IP-Address
- Subnet mask
- Gateway and
- DNS Server
...with the information from above (exept IP address: 192.168.0.222), the connection won't establish and "Broadcast-Address" differs:
- Broadcast-Address: 192.168.0.255
Aim: I want to access my desktop ubuntu with my phone within the local network. Therefore my pc needs a static IP and the broadcast address is wrong, right?

I've solved my problem, by creating a fix-ip-rule (ger: "feste IP Adresse") for my pc within my router options. To do so, I've entered the gateway IP "192.168.1.1" in my browsers address bar and navigated to the "Network > LAN" Menu, where I've found the Option - and all without the need of console usage :)
