I have a cable modem and use the NTL service in the UK. Recently, NTL changed the DNS servers for cable modem users, but I had manually set up /etc/resolv.conf to contain the original addresses. NTL maintain that using a DHCP client should ensure that the ISP can change DNS addresses and the customer's machine is updated automatically.
Does this work with Linux? If so, how do I set it up? Complaints by users of non-Windows machines resulted in the following comment from another user who complained about not being told of the change: "> Should we reconfigure to point to this "new" DNS? No you should configure it using DHCP...that's what it's for (and it is stated as part of the requirements for a machine that can use the service :o) ) What better way is there of "telling" everyone than that?" Many thanks for your comments. BTW I use dhcp-client version 2.0pl4-2 on an Unstable box. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000
