RE: [PLUG] Re: DNS trouble shooting and DHCP/DNS connection (Chad Waters)


If you want to use just hostname, you will have to add it to your host
file.

echo "x.x.x.x     xyz.domain.com xyz" >> /etc/hosts


dns will always pend the domain to the host, but etc/hosts wont.

I added mydomain.com to the /etc/resolv.conf, it gives
me same error message. the /etc/resolv.conf file looks
like this:

nameserver 192.168.1.2
nameserver 68.82.0.6
nameserver 68.82.0.5
search mydomain.com
search wchstr01.ps.comcast.com
