haha mmm yeah..the internet is connected....but it cant able to to update...and i have changed several mirrors. Still the same. I have a question, can we put the IP address of the mirrors, instead of the domain name itself.
Hi, sorry to jump in the thread, but I've got a quick question related to makuyl's post:
Quote:
Post also the output of: cat /etc/resolv.conf
Mine looks like:
search dsl.inet.fi #my ISP
nameserver 193.210.18.18 #ISP's primary DNS
nameserver 193.210.19.19 #ISP's secondary DNS
nameserver 192.168.1.1 #My router
my resolv.conf contains only the line with the address of my router. Without it I wouldn't be able to connect to the internet.
What is the purpose of including the details of my ISP in resolv.conf?
In a perfect world the router indeed gets dns servers from your isp and passes them on on requests from your box. In a less than perfect world, it doesn't always happen, but with the dns servers in resolv.conf your box resolves domain names from IP's directly from your ISP's dns servers if/when the router doesn't manage to pass it on.
As for the OP, you might want to ask the campus IT staff about your problemo. With any luck, they're linux friendly.
