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:
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.
Thanks,
James
If your file is named /etc/resolve.conf change it to /etc/resolv.conf
And remove the nameserver 192.168.1.1 line unless that system has a properly
installed nameserver installed.
Also the domain/search lines are meaningless. First, the last one specified
overrides any earlier domain/search line and second, it should be a proper
domain name. Also, a domain/search line is not required at all. It is only
there as a convenience so you can specify something like 'ftp server' when you
really mean ftp.example.com.

Bruce:
Thanks for the help. Have done so and it turned out that I had
originally created it as /etc/resolve.conf instead of /etc/resolv.conf.
Happy camper now.
