Another question: Does /sbin/dhcpcd update /etc/resolv.conf? Does it replace Cox Cable's DNS information with the Glastonbury library's? Can I use Cox's? How does this all work? I wrote down the library's DNS servers. With /etc/resolv.conf uncommented: root@p200:~# ping www.ccoss.org PING www.ccoss.org (209.43.95.190): 56 octets data 64 octets from 209.43.95.190: icmp_seq=0 ttl=239 time=39.9 ms 64 octets from 209.43.95.190: icmp_seq=1 ttl=239 time=43.5 ms 64 octets from 209.43.95.190: icmp_seq=2 ttl=239 time=40.9 ms --- www.ccoss.org ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 39.9/41.4/43.5 ms (Cntl-C) root@p200:~# With /etc/resolv.conf commented out: root@p200:~# ping www.ccoss.org ping: unknown host www.ccoss.org root@p200:~# Christopher Paulin dave wrote: >Bill wrote: > > >>1. what makes it important >> >>2. can't you let your distribution's dhcp configuration ocnfigure all >>that stuff for you?
