Hi gang. I decided it was about time to install a Linux desktop system, and settled on Mandrake 10 Community edition. I was impressed with the install, and the overall system seems to be working very well. My hardware was mostly detected automagically (except the printer, but set that up afterwards), and the performance of the system is very good.
However, for some reason, I'm having problems getting my network config setup properly. I have gone through the system configuration tool and removed eth0 outright, then added it back in taking care to enter all the details properly (I'm not using DHCP) including my default gateway and name server (both at 192.168.0.1). However, name resolution constantly fails for me. I tried to look through /etc for an appropriate resolv.conf file or something similar, but haven't been able to find one. I did find the nsswitch.conf file, but didn't see anything in there that would really help (not that I fully understand how that file works). My windows installation (different hard drive, same box) and my Gentoo server is setup with the same info and are able to connect to the Internet fine. I've tried logging in as my regular user account, as well as root, and both accounts are affected. Any tips or suggestions? I'm sure I've missed something stupid. Thanks muchly.
