Thanks for your report. Indeed it looks like it should be changed either on net-fixed-ip- address.page or Settings.
The page is an upstream GNOME Help one. It would be great if you could call upstream's attention to the inconsistency by submitting an issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/issues If you do, please post the URL to the upstream issue in a comment here. ** Package changed: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) => gnome-user-docs (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-user-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-user-docs (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-docs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965942 Title: Netmask should be replaced by Prefix? Status in gnome-user-docs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am using Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS The page on this subject "Create a connection with a fixed IP address" for 20.04 mentions in para 5. "Type in the IP Address and Gateway, as well as the appropriate Netmask." I wanted to do this so that I can provide a fixed IPv6 address for one of my computers. The link to the documentation page is https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/net-fixed-ip- address.html.en Netmask, which is not shown on the relevant part of the Ubuntu 20.04 Settings page, but there is a box headed "Prefix". Should this replace the reference to Netmask?
