Command line DNS settings

Hello everyone--

I'm trying to set up a Fedora Core 2 server using the command line. I was able to set the ip address for the ethernet card but I am unable to figure out how to set DNS up through command line. I've been trying to google it for a little while with NO success. Any help other then just installing X?

just edit the /etc/resolv.conf file and add this line to it:

Code:

nameserver 192.168.0.1

where 192.168.0.1 is the IP address of your preferred DNS
