 Posted: Fri Jun 20, 2003 5:05 pm Post subject: DHCP question |
 |
|
I used to have DHCP working with Gentoo, but after changing to use ADSL, it no longer finds name servers.
It replaces /etc/resolv.conf with "193.229.0.40" which is weird since such an IP does not seem to respond at all (to pings).
My mac (using the same ADSL without any problems) shows valid DNS numbers it got. How could i force Gentoo to use them as well, or should i simply disable DHCP?
(if so: _how_ do i disable DHCP...?!? do i need a recompile - heaven no!)
Thanks for help - little problem, big pain!

have u messed around w/ /etc/conf.d/net ? there u can make it use dhcp or whatever u wish. to disable it then u would simply do an rc-update del net.eth0

Not responding to pings is not necessarily a problem.
A lot of server admins do this since there's no reason to waste
resources responding to other people's request for ping packets. |
