Hi to all: First of all, first time post here. I successfully build LFS-6.5 with virtually no problems at all and want to say thanks to the developers.
Now it was on to BLFS and I have installed these additional packages: Openssl-0.9.8g Openssh-4.7.p1 Portmap-6.0 tcpwrapper-7.6 These all work but I have a nagging problem that has eluded me so far. I can ping any machine on my local lan, both with IP address or hostname. I can ping my router, and my gateway no problem. I can ping my ISP or google.ca with their IP address, BUT I cannot ping them with their hostname. That is, ping google.ca gives: ping: unknown host. Here is my /etc/resolve.conf: domain workgroup search workgroup nameserver 192.168.1.1 nameserver <my ISP's primary address> nameserver <my ISP's secondary address> Here is my /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth1/ipv4: ONBOOT=yes SERVICE=ipv4-static IP=192.168.1.149 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 PREFIX=24 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 I'm sure it is quite obvious but I can't seem to find the problem. Also. ifconfig doesnot appear to be installed so have had to use ip link .... for checking things. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
