I am creating the file /etc/resolv.conf . To get the proper setting I looked into my running system's /etc/resolv.conf . pico says: nameserver 127.0.1.1 search domain.actdsltmp I do not think that number is even in my network and it isn't the loopback address. The book says: The IP address may also be a router on the local network. which is 192.168.0.1 . So what would you advise I do; should I put in what my host system says is the nameserver or my router/modem's ip address? I'm thinking the modem/router's IP. :-)~MIKE~(-: On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 11:45 AM, Amit Nepal wrote: > That is correct ! > > > > > > *Amit K Nepal Chief Information Officer (RHCE, CCENT, C|EH, C|HFI, GIAC > ISO 27000 Specialist) omNovia Technologies Inc. * > On 8/29/2014 11:34 AM, Michael Havens wrote: > > wait!
