I start with the following:

And I want to set my address to a specific value, so that I can identify it easily from other systems when SSHing. I run:



ifconfig ens33 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.10.1


And the result is:

Per @Tomasz's suggestion, I changed the router's mask to 255.255.0.0. I am now running:



ifconfig ens33 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.10.1 ens33


Unfortunately, same effect.

Assuming you are allowed to assign yourself an IP, and I don't know if you've been doing this correctly, your netmask:



Mask:255.255.255.0


In combination with your working IP:



192.168.0.161


Leaves you with this subnet: 192.168.0.0/24, which means you in no way could assign yourself any IP starting 192.168.10.. You could only change the last number in 192.168.0.161.
