Redhat DNS Entry
I have a installed Redhat Linux v5 on a new HP Pavillon PC. It has a dual boot with Vista. Booting from Vista, I can connect to the internet. However with Redhat I cannot connect to the internet.
I looked at the /etc/resolv.conf file in Redhat and there is no DNS entry there. From where do I get the DNS entry from and what is the format that I enter the DNS entry in resolv.conf.
An example of resolv.conf file will help.
Looking forward for your help.
Regards,
Anil

nisd_resolv
rpc.nisd_resolv(1M) System Administration Commands rpc.nisd_resolv(1M)
NAME
rpc.nisd_resolv, nisd_resolv - NIS+ service daemon
SYNOPSIS
rpc.nisd_resolv [-v | -V] [ -F [-C fd]] [-t xx] [-p yy]
DESCRIPTION
rpc.nisd_resolv is an auxiliary process which provides DNS forwarding service for NIS hosts requests to both ypserv and rpc.nisd that are
running in the NIS compatibility mode. It is generally started by invoking rpc.nisd(1M) with the -B option or ypserv(1M) with the -d
option. Although it is not recommended, rpc.nisd_resolv can also be started independently with the following options.
This command requires that the /etc/resolv.conf file be setup for communication with a DNS nameserver. The nslookup utility can be used to
verify communication with a DNS nameserver. See resolv.conf(4) and nslookup(1M).
OPTIONS
-F Run in foreground.
-C fd Use fd for service xprt (from nisd).
-v Verbose. Send output to the syslog daemon.
-V Verbose. Send output to stdout.
-t xx Use transport xx.
-p yy Use transient program# yy.
