You shouldn't need to run a dns *server* on your laptop (though it can make life simpler at Laptop Lane). If your DHCP server supports it, try including PEERDNS=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (or check the appropriate box in redhat-config-network). Then you will get the addresses of DNS servers from your DHCP server placed in /etc/resolv.conf automagically.. If you want to run your own dns server, install the bind and caching-nameserver RPMs (and make sure bind is up2date) and learn how to configure them. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
