Mimicking the effect of designating nameserver in network-admin but with terminal?
 

System: Debian Lenny

I've come across a problem. I think it has to do with something called resolvconf. I'm not too sure of the complete issue, but I'm stuck with things the way they are. As of late, I have had to go System>Administration>Network and designate the DNS server's IP address (Network>Tab:DNS>Box:DNS Servers).

I need to know of a way I can set this via the terminal. Furthermore, what would be really cool is that if I ever go to System>Administration>Network, then I will see this DNS Server IP address listed.

How do I set such a DNS server IP via terminal?

You have to add a line in /etc/resolv.conf:
BTW the program resolvconf does the same job.

Thanks for the reply, bathory.

I tried doing that.
I had used an

echo "nameserver 192.x.x.x" > /etc/resolv.conf

before posting this thread.

It showed up on /etc/resolv.conf, but it didn't seem to solve the DNS issue.
It wasn't the same as playing with network-admin.
I'm not sure why.
Also, it didn't show up in network-admin.

Anyone else with other comments?
