I am having issues with my internet connection. I need to know my DNS IP adress. My connection wizard (in Linux) does not allow for an alpha-numeric DNS. Where do I find my DNS adress? :confused:

Any info would be great!!

Thanks!
 
If you edit the name server file /etc/resolv.conf this will give you the ability to add and remove name servers assigned to that machine. If there are any configured you should see something like:

nameserver 127.0.0.1

You can add name servers by entering a new line with the same format:

nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 10.1.1.1

These IPs are just examples and depend on how you actually have your network setup, but if you need the IPs for actual DNS servers you can login to your router and see what DNS server addys it's pulling from your ISP. You can also give them a call if you’re not using a router and I'm sure they would be glad to give them to you.

If you are behind a router configured to be a DHCP server and have the DHCP client enabled on Linux, it should pull all this information from the DHCP server (a router in most cases) and automatically assign the DNS server addresses for you...that is if the DHCP server is properly configured.

only way to find out is if you can connect to it or you can call the ISP
