Assuming standard pressure, that is, at sea level, as opposed to on top of Mt. Everest or a mile below the surface of the Earth, these are the correct numbers:
Freezing - 0 degress Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit
Boiling - 100 degrees Celsius, 212 degrees Fahrenheit
There's a nice story about how Fahrenheit determined boiling and freezing points... I won't go into detail, but he accidentally used salt water and his numbers were way off.

At normal atmospheric pressure water freezes at 0 degrees Centigrade (273 degrees Kelvin / 32 degrees Fahrenheit) and boils at 100 degrees Centigrade (373 degrees Kelvin).
The freezing and boiling points of water is affected by atmospheric pressure, the lower the atmospheric pressure the lower the boiling point of water.

Freezing point is 0 degrees Celsius and boiling is 100.

It is 0 degrees Celsius for freezing and 100 for boiling
Fareneheit I think it is 32 degreees for freezing and 212 for boiling but I'm less sure of that one.

The above answers are only true at sea level. The higher your altitude is the lower the boiling point. This is because the atmospheric pressure affects the surface tension of the water.

32F - freezing
212F - boiling
0C - feezing
100C - boiling
Of course, those numbers are for sea-level. ;-)
