Static IP not set after reboot

Question

I am currently trying to set my Raspberry Pi's IP address to static, and it works until I reboot and I have to run sudo ifdown eth0; ifup eth0. I have set eth0 to static and have currently got the following configuration for it:

broadcast 192.168.0.250
address   192.168.0.250
submask   255.255.255.0
gateway   192.168.0.1

Is your static address and broadcast address really supposed to be the same? Also can you post your /etc/network/interfaces and the output of the ifconfig file - edit your question don't add it as a comment. — Steve Robillard, Dec 15 '15 at 22:01
I'm relatively new to the Raspberry Pi and I had seen two different tutorials using two different things, so I set them both and it worked. Do I not need to have them both? — user38293, Dec 15 '15 at 22:02
include a link to the tutorial you followed as well please. The pi is not normally the broadcast server for a network, that is usually the role of your router. — Steve Robillard, Dec 15 '15 at 22:04

If you are new to the Pi why not use dhcp and leave it to the router to do the right thing. — Steve Robillard, Dec 15 '15 at 22:06

Okay, you made an error on broadcast. It's supposed to be 192.168.0.255.
