set static dns server ip address in debian

need to set a static address for dns on my debian box. i have edited my /etc/network/interfaces as such

Code:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).



# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback



# The primary network interface

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

        address 192.168.0.4

        netmask        255.255.255.0

        network 192.168.0.0

        broadcast 192.168.0.255

        gateway 192.168.0.10

do i just add a dns line to this with my dns server info?

also after editing this file i ran the following command and got this error

Code:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter.

Reconfiguring network interfaces...SIOCDELRT: No such process

ifup: interface lo already configured

done.

DNS entries go in /etc/resolv.conf

They can also go in /etc/network/interfaces, eg

Code:

        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package

        dns-nameservers hooha and whatnot

        dns-search foobar

Have you just done a kernel upgrade/recompile ? Anyhoo, the SIOCDELRT error is possibly due to either the wrong driver compiled for the network card, or the incorrect one being loaded. You could try running

Code:

depmod -a

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Cheers,

mj

thanks to both of you
i did upgrade my kernel to 2.6.11-1-686, but havent recompilied it so it could be that or something with the driver, i will do both of these tonight at home and let you know

Hi there,i've got a similiar problem;i installed debian stable on my granmother's pc :D and everything works fine,for her,but recently he complaind about a site wich she can't connect.I already know that on my connection you might have to add the dns-search domain manually,i don't know why but it is.However everytime i reboot the pc and the networkmanager connect to the wireless network those extra dns numbers disappear.By setting it via gnome(network-admin or something like)i get it working (i can ping that site!) but they disappear everytime.I noticed network manager store that info in /etc/resolv.conf adding a line with the dns-search domain but the file is generated when connecting to the wireless network.I purged the package resolvconf and avahi-dnsconfd and tried to add dnsutils;but no way to store permanently those numbers.....any ideas??
