Solution to the IP /DNS problem

2007-12-24 19:56:00

Someone emailed me and asked that I share the solution to the list. I
looked through the faq and didn't see it. A few of you emailed me and said
"Read the faq and quit asking dumb questions". Wow.. To me it wasn't dumb.
So for those of you that slammed my email with all of the useful
suggestions I REALLY appreciate it. Here is what worked for me.

edit the /etc/defaultrouter and enter the ip address of the gateway
ex: 10.0.0.1

edit /etc/resolv.conf and enter DNS server info and/or domain info
domain blah.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where x = the IP addr of the DNS servers.

edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change hosts to read
hosts files dns

If you dont want to reboot try this command
route add -net 0.0.0.0 default xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where x= the IP addr of your
gateway.

I ended up rebooting and it worked after the reboot.

Thanks,
Jim
