setting DNS

[NeilBlue]

Hello,

I am running RH7.1 on one machine which is using a default gateway (which is running LM8). I can ping the net from my RH7.1 machine, but I need to set the dns servers for it. Please could someone tell me how to do this in RH7.1.

Thank you
Neil Blue

I don't have RH, but look in /etc/resolv.conf

just incase you were in the situation like I was when I first installed Linux, to list file contents at the command line:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

and use your favourite editor to make changes, mine would be:

pico /etc/resolv.conf

Thank you miker,

One of the reasons for moving to RH from LM is to learn more about how to use linux without the LM GUI tools.

Cheers
Neil
