You're starting from scratch with networking! No worries, let's break it down. Since you're not connected to the internet yet, you can't assign an IP address directly. You'll need to connect your PC to a network first—either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Once online, you can configure your router settings and then follow the installation steps carefully. The "subnet," "name servers," and "search domains" are part of setting up your local network so devices can communicate properly. Just ask your internet service provider for guidance on connecting your PC to a network. Good luck!

You're checking the manual setup because DHCP isn't working.

Ensure an IP is available for internet access. Your network uses the same subnet, and your gateway is the router. Use the DNS server as your name servers.

The process failed due to a timeout. It seems connectivity might have been an issue.

You don’t have to be online, just ensure you’re linked to a router or a device with a DHCP server. Without that connection, setting up the network interface isn’t useful since there’s nothing to connect to.

DNS functions similarly to 8.8.8.8 but uses different addresses. The DNS server Linus discussed in his video was at 8.8.4.27. The address 255.255.255.0 represents a subnet mask, meaning it divides the network into 256 segments.

Subnet 255.255.255.0/24 format adjusted. Address 192.168.1.20 is an available IP if your network uses a 10-based scheme, then 10.0.0.20. Your router's IP would be either 192.168.1.0/24 or 10.0.0.1. The gateway is your router's IP, possibly 192.168.1.0/24 or 10.0.0.1. Name servers are likely DNS, such as 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4

Interesting choice of /24. It's a common subnet size. The note about 192.168.1.20 not fitting in that range makes sense.

24 bits. Your gateway IP address is what you need to proceed.

Same issue occurs when using '/32' for '192.168.1.20' not fitting within '255.255.255.0'
