im new to linux so I hope this isnt a stupid ? First ? I have a DHCP server but I set up this using static IP If I have to use DHCP what do I do? I have to make a zone or something correct? Im using zoneedit for DNS and virtualmin But i purchased a domain and I want to host it. My isp is comcast the host I want to call it say servix domain is example.com under linksys router I put servix under host, domain example.com in /etc/sysconfig/network I put host = servix domain = example.com in /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 servix.example.com servix localhost localhost.localdomain 192.168.1.144 www.example.com www in /etc/resolv.conf I have: search servix.example.com nameserver 192.168.1.1 comcast servers do I have to add zoneedit servers to the resolv.conf ? Im thinking its my DHCP server so how can I change the hostname? when i type in hostname it comes back servix.example.com but when i type hostname --fqdn says unknown host
Which distribution do you use? If name resolution is working, you don't have to add additional nameservers to your resolv.conf.
using centos Yeah niw DHCP is giving me my hostname of example.com but do I have to name a machine name? How do I tell DHCP to not touch resolv.conf? because i need to add nameserver 192.168.1.1 correct?
