Hello! I have recently installed a LFS 6.1.1 and everything went fine. The only problem is that DNS isn't working. I have set up the network as described in LFS 6.1.1, using ipv4 with a static IP. I am behind an ADSL router, whose IP (192.168.2.1) serves as the default gateway and nameserver.
Unfortunalely, I can't ping www.google.com or other URLs, but I reach them, when I use the IPs directly. So I tried to enter some (<5, just to be sure) nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf by hand, which also wouldn't work. All other systems I set up work flawlessly with 192.168.2.1 as a nameserver, but they use DHCP. So set I up DHCP, in order to give it a try. As described in BLFS 6.1 I installed dhcpcd, which seems to work fine, as I get this output: DHCP Assigned Settings for eth0: IP Address: 192.168.2.32 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1 DNS Server: 192.168.2.1 As expected, it uses 192.168.2.1 as the nameserver, but it also doesn't work. As I'm not an expert, I have no idea what causes the problem, and any help is apprehiated. Google was of any help, since almost all hits were about people who didn't enter nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf, or other topics. The only thing I did different than in LFS 6.1.1 is that I use a 2.6.17 kernel, but that shouldn't cause the problem. I wasn't sure if I should post this at the LFS or BLFS list, but since everything else works and this also affects DHCP I've chosen this one. If you need more information or config files, I'll post them. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
