How to configure resolv.conf

and_deva · 07-02-2003, 08:17 PM

Hi
I just reinstalled RH 7.3 on my laptop and configured the modem.

However i forgot how the entries in /etc/resolv.conf look like.

Can anybody post a sample entry here ?

Also how should I find out the DNS IP adress ? I have earthlink dialup connection. I know there is a command to find that from windows but just forgot.

Thanks

Something like

Code:

search your.domain
nameserver <your DNS' IP>

should get you going.

For more info

Code:

man resolv.conf

As for getting the IP, try (once you're
on) to run
dig

Cheers,
