Go to system settings/networks, edit your eth card parameters and verify that option 'Automatically obtain DNS from provider' is checked.

Will I have to write in the resolv.conf the name servers of all those whom i want to connect fr ex www.yahoo.com, www.google.com so many I will have to write? I want to know how can i enable the DNS service. In 7.3 I use to do it by using setup system services and enable dns but here i don found a dns service in systemservices. ALso, linuxconf does not work on my machine.

Just edit /etc/resolv.conf file and add in your info and that should do it, like below.. domain domain.com search domaindns.com nameserver 1.2.3.4 nameserver 1.2.3.5 Above is the basic format that you can use. You probably don't even need the domain part, just the search and nameserver fields. You might even go to another machine on the same LAN and view it's /etc/resolv.conf file and see what they have and use it.
