Hi and thanks for that... but.. i am not using X (gnome or kde) so do not use these gui interfaces. i have started using wvdial in the console environment. So these instructions may not work for me. do you know how i can set wvdial to automatically get the nameservers? -----Original Message----- From: Philippe [mailto:phd@fcomfrench.com] Sent: Wednesday, 5 March 2003 3:13 PM To: psyche-list Subject: RE: nameserver host finding Hi, When you configure your network via NETWORK in the redhat menu, you have a checkbox "Automatically obtain DNS information from provider". I think this is what you need. It works for me. If uncheck, it will normally take the DNS on the DNS tab entry.
