You need to make sure that you have a line in your /etc/dhcpd.conf file that looks like this: option domain-name-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy; The IPs represented by xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy can be your ISP's DNS servers, or, if you're running a DNS server on the NAT/DHCP server box, you can set that to be your own IP. Then, restart dhcpd, have your client machines release and renew, and you should be all set. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
