the sudo thing was "i think" where it just clears the dns and then i had to put mine in.. i found a thing in the network settings where i could do it and it worked great but he keeps reverting back to my gateways ip addy. here is that ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:47:7C:8F:71 inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::203:47ff:fe7c:8f71/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9054 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7243 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:9398925 (8.9 MiB) TX bytes:1583895 (1.5 MiB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:106877 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:106877 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:17457178 (16.6 MiB) TX bytes:17457178 (16.6 MiB) |
Out of Ideas
8 It sure looks like you're getting a valid IP from your router or modem. I still can't for the life of me figure out how ping can do domain name resolution but your browser can't. Are you connected directly to the modem or to a router? When you say it "reverting back to my gateways ip" do you mean that your DNS server ip addresses are the same as your gateway address?
Try setting up your network card with a static IP instead of DHCP and see if the settings will "stick". Other than that, I'm out of ideas. |
yeah im on a modem/routrer both in one and the dns keeps comming up as my modems ip addy which is 192.168.1.1 but ill give that a try
thanks for your help |
Hi relly^newbie%),
Can you please edit /etc/resolve.conf with enteries similiar to one given below nameserver DNS_IP address nameserver DNS_Secondary_IP address for eg. nameserver 202.77.67.90 Hope it might work Philix |
