Can't change IP range

Description

I'm using an Asus 500gx (Deluxe) in my current network, 10.0.0.x, and when i want to change the ip range from 192 to 10 it becomes inaccessible. I have to reboot the router and connect to it from 192.168.1.1 again. Changing its ip address to 192.168.1.3 however works. 

# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0.0
iface eth0.0 inet static
        address 10.0.0.5   
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.0.0.0    
        broadcast 10.0.0.255   
        gateway 10.0.0.1                       
        dns-namservers 10.0.0.1
        switch-ports 1 2 3 4 5*

/etc/init.d/S40network restart

I've created an image with wib.freewrt.org which works great except for the network, my image id: 111576F3BD0

Hi,

dns-namservers is not a correct key in interfaces. Please use /etc/resolv.conf for that.

May be this is the reason why it fails. Be sure you have no whitespaces at the end of any value.

Thanx for the fast replay, but still no go. Removed dns-namseservers key and removed the whitespaces. 

cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0.0
iface eth0.0 inet static
        address 10.0.0.1   
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.0.0.0
        broadcast +            
        switch-ports 1 2 3 4 5*

I had no network problems with OpenWRT but i switched to FreeWRT because it has better audio drivers. Is the IRC channel online because i'm not able to connect to #freewrt on freenode.net?

Ok, got it working now. Human error after all with a combination of whitespaces and useless keys, removed 'network 10.0.0.0'. 

cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0.0
iface eth0.0 inet static
        address 10.0.0.1   
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast +            
        switch-ports 1 2 3 4 5*
