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.

wait! I just found the solution to my problem!

   route -n

but it says that the gateway is my modem/router. Is that right?

I am at linux from scratch section 7.2.2 . They want us to enter the following lines:

cd /etc/sysconfig/
cat > ifconfig.eth0 << "EOF"
ONBOOT=yes
IFACE=eth0
SERVICE=ipv4-static
IP=192.168.1.1
GATEWAY=192.168.1.2
PREFIX=24
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
EOF

Now, I need to change the iP and gateway and broadcast numbers to something that will be recognized on my network. I really am having difficulties with 'GATEWAY' because I think it is a network-wide number and I don't think that it is 192.168.1.2 . How can I figure out what it is?
