Pls help - mic,DNS,valknut,pppoe
Well i got linux running yesterday. I got my pppoe conected. But I find that the DNS of my pppoe connection takes over my standard LAN DNS. I checked resolv.conf and the DNS is of my ISP. (Well actually I dont dial a DNS in pppoe but a SERVICENAME which establishes a connection to this DNS) So I cannot use my DC client ie Valknut to connect to LAN hubs. I even configured the valknut to use eth0 which has my DNS configured at 172.19.4.56 that is a common DNS for all who connect to local hubs (DC) in our area. SO how do I get it working? The error Valknut gives is :Cannot route to host.
Also I have found that my speakers run fine but my mic cannot be used till now. I tried selecting the mic as record source and even unmuted it but i cannot hear any sound on speaker nor on a recording app like krec (gnome recorder crashes). Any fixes to this problem?
And yaa I have a Realtek AC 97 sound card on board but it is detected as an SiS 70xx with AC 97 (i guess that shouldnt be the problem).
