[Staffslug] DNS problem [was Re: Unanswerable Question]
Hello Carl,
If I look in etc/init.d/networking it shows me just some scripting
for
enabling/disabling the interface - no settings for DHCP/DNS etc. in
there. I don't have a file named net.eth0 or eth1.
What distro are you using?
Although Ubuntu and similar expose DNS info through GNOME's
``networking'' GUI in the admin menu, to see where your PC
is looking for DNS, type:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
which should return your router address.
If it returns nothing, add in a DNS server here
(e.g. 208.67.222.222) with
echo "208.67.222.222" >> /etc/resolv.conf
Be warned that Ubuntu will not retain this.
Do you get this problem with Konqueror as well as
Firefox/Iceweasel?
WGET? What about wget -4 ?
If I go into the
settings for the card (in the GUI) I can see that it has picked up the
IP and broadcast address. If I manually input the IP, SM and gateway
- it still doesn't work. net-setup (command not found). dhcpd
(command not found).
sudo dhclient
