[Slackware v10]
Right now, my internet connection (in Windows) is working fine. Assume my IP info right now is:

IP: 192.168.1.100
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.16.1.1
Primary DNS: 200.200.200.200
Secondary DNS: 200.200.200.201

How do I use netconfig to enter in all this info? I only see the ability to enter my IP, subnet, and gateway. I need both my primary and secondary DNS server's IP's to connect to the Internet. I'm not using DHCP, static ONLY. Also, what criteria do I need to put in for the HOSTNAME and DOMAIN? Can someone give examples?
I've tried to edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file, but there's no place to put my DNS info in.

you can put all(most) of the info ifconfig parameters
ifconfig eth0 will show you what the settings are.

do a man on it and enter all the info.
hostname is not terribly important in most cases domain name even less.

pull the dns entries from windows machine and you might have to make your gateway and dns entries by routeadd etc.

not knowing rest of your network makes it difficult to say what to use exactly.
if you made windows work .. same thing will work in linux main command is ifconfig

hi ,
for the dns entries use the file /etc/resolv.conf and give your dns server like e.g.

nameserver 192.168.0.254 ;whatever it may be (primary dns)
nameserver 192.168.0.253 ;secondary and so on

again change the order in the /etc/hosts.conf to change the order of the name resolution e.g.
order bind,hosts


for adding the hostname use the file /etc/sysconfig/networking/
hope it will work
note the above is for the Red Hat Linux.

Thanks

thanks, i'll try that
