Thanks to everyone for the ideas. perhaps a little more explanation is in order:
1. this is for a computer network in fresno (my parents) 2. they have a linksys router that does its job of sending this information over to the LAN machines via DHCP. 3. i needed to give one of the machines a static IP, so that i could forward specific ports to that machine alone, however i could not figure out what the name servers were for comcast. this made setting up a static IP difficult, but in the end i used a public name server. i will check in the router config, perhaps this will make everything ok! thanks again! dylan on 04.4.6 2:35 AM, Seth Nagao at [EMAIL PROTECTED] was reported to have writen: > Comcast broadband is DHCP. > > Looking at my router, doing a 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' results in the > nameserver.Should work for you too.
