I've just installed CentOS 5.1 as a guest on VMware, and It was my 1st time to install linux.

and I made a bridge connection, now I can ping by IPs but can't ping by domain names !!

PLEASE, consider in your reply that am totally newbie :$

Thanks for ur time

Do you have a domain name server ?
You need a dns-server to connect to domain names.

I'm using opendns.org ( 208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220 ) for windows, so how can I configure these DNS settings for linux ?

In linux we called "bind, caching-nameserver, and bind-chroot" this is for DNS please install this all package

then u have to do configuration in /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
then create forward and reverse file in /var/named/chroot/var/named/

then go to vi /etc/resolve.conf
type "search ur domian name"
nameserver " ur server IP"

then go to vi /etc/resolve.conf
type "search ur domian name"
nameserver " ur server IP"

if u wanna make linux as a client then u have to do entry only in "vi /etc/resolve.conf

then go to vi /etc/resolve.conf
type "search ur domian name"
nameserver " ur server IP"

thanks all for ur fast responses !

but, when I try to use "Add / Remove Software ", I'm getting error "Unable to retrieve software information" because I don't have access to the internet !

So , how can I install "bind, caching-nameserver, and bind-chroot" ?
