I am running Progeny Debian 1.0 with cable connection. First I could not ping or resolve host names. So I ran the command:
dpkg-reconfigure etherconf I selected the Automatic setup. I did not enter the name for my dns server. When everything was done I could ping but I cannot use ftp or ssh. These are the error messages I am getting: ftp:ftp.ssh.org: Host name Lookup failure ssh:genesis.com: Temporary failure in name resolution. I went back and ran dpkg-reconfigure again and put in a dns server name but I still receive the same error message. I checked my /etc/hosts file and I see my loopback IP address but the dns servers are not correct. It says that I cannot adjust the information at the top but if I edit below my input will be entered. I'm confused. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Wildjsse.
