Re: [PLUG] networking question

Randall, Wow, thanks - that's exactly what I needed.
I added a file, /etc/sysconfig/network/routes with a single line:
default 10.10.10.1 - -
After some fiddling with config (turning off NetworkManager) and exercising some
network commands:
/sbin/rcnetwork
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
...the default route is there!
I can ping external addresses like 4.2.2.2 but I can't get DNS resolution:
ping www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com
I'm guessing that when I turned off NetworkManager it lost the DNS address,
10.10.10.1, that I had set in there.
What else am I missing to get DNS?
Thanks again,
Eric
