Hey guys I recently downloaded dsl and put it on my small server. I cant get on the internet because I dont know how to enter the DNS ip when configuring the network settings in dns. I am connecting to a router that is connecting to a computer that is sharing the connection. Could someone please guide me on how to edit the network so I could add the dns ip and then I can finaly connect to the net! Btw I am running a netgear router.

If you are using a DHCP enabled router, then just run "netcardconfig" and choose YES for the DHCP question.

Otherwise, you will need to know your provider's DNS server.

If you lost your paperwork, but still have another PC running Windows that once successfully was connected, you can boot it and look up the existing DNS information in your NETWORK SETTINGS.

Have you tried using ifconfig?  You can look up all the details on any decent linux site.

I think I just replied to a post similar to this one. If not,
edit the /etc/resolv.conf file
in the file there are a few lines

nameserver 10.1.1.2 [example]

Hope this helps!
