Hi all-- which is the file on Linux that I have to change so that the machine recognises the sub-net's DNS server, gateway. NIS server etc on linux?? is it the /etc/hosts file and the /etc/networks file??
any info on this?? it looks like my machine is not able to connect to the network. and the PCMCIA ethernet card looks fine to me, I installed X and ran it, ever since the network problem has occured. I removed the link for the inetd, httpd, named daemons (that were installed when i installed debian) from the init.rc.2 (or 3??) and it appears that installing X has affected the network layer on this laptop. any suggestions on how to go about fixing this?? other than having to reinstall debian that is!! thanks, praveen kamath
