I'm on a Windows network, but I have a static IP address. I ended up with a corrupted hosts file, so there was no loop-back. My issue is with resolv.conf and the fact that the windows dns servers are wrong. On the neighbor Windows box the dns servers are accessed dynamically. How can I duplicate this but keep my static address? TIA, Gene Poole
On your Linux box either do the following by hand through a terminal, su -, to become root, use emacs or vi
/etc/sysconfig/networking/device/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 HWADDR=00:16:E6:46:F6:D1 IPADDR=192.168.1.13 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 TYPE=Ethernet Then, edit /etc/resolv.conf and enter the DNS address(es) nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx /etc/hosts and enter any name short cuts you want xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx alias OR System > Administration > Network. Edit the device, SAVE and restart it.
