[resolved] No DNS resolution with static ip's

[ouroboros1827]

So, I just installed gentoo (just had an empty windows partition) to try out fvwm-crystal (and as we all know, gentoo's the best for most anything ). I have a router (WRT54G v4) and turned off the dhcp...I use static ip's everywhere in my house (I didn't really enjoy my ip jumping around every reboot).

I have it working on windows fine. WHAT WORKS: I can ping my router (192.168.1.1), and can ping 64.233.167.99 (that would be the ip of google.com). I cannot ping google.com

I've been up and down most every config file I know and can't find anything how to set my dns - I know what it is, I just don't know how to tell gentoo/ifconfig what it is and to use it. Any ideas? Much thanks

Hello fellow noob If I am not mistaken you need to add the following to /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <-- ip number of your name server.

Save the file and you should be good to go

For any sort of configuration look at /etc/conf.d/net.example.
In my setup I use a router, with IP of 192.168.2.1, as the gateway with static IP of 192.168.2.200.
