Title: /etc/resolv.conf
Post by: seekyrr on September 16, 2004, 03:45:58 pm

I can ping my dns server from the Z on cradle.  If I add an entry into hosts it can resolve.  When I add my dns server into /etc/resolv.conf it can't resolve.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You are adding lines like...

nameserver 10.1.0.1

right ?

The format should be similar to what iamasmith posted. The intent is to say 'resolve this host name to this IP address'

localhost                127.0.0.1
martysmulebarn     129.0.0.1
mcdonaldland         192.168.0.14

Give it a shot.

I was told the resolv.conf was where to put the DNS servers.

So I put

DNS1  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

?

Ling, that's the format for a host file.

The format for resolv.conf should definely be...


nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver y.y.y.y


etc.

i.e.

nameserver 10.1.0.1


nameserver is not a label, it's a directive for the resolver.
