How to set a different DNS Address [Solved]

[BillB0B]

On my setup the network connect but does find the DNS that I use. How do I change the network so it will connect to my main DNS and a alterntive DNS?
Thanks

As root in terminal
net-setup
and follow the options then once complete
ifconfig.

If this does not do it the
nano -w /etc/resolv.conf

Should be "nameserver 112.233.344.455" or similar and replace with yours.

I hate to steal a thread, but this seemed a good place to ask and as the previous question had been satisfactorily answered I thought that it wouldn't be a big deal.

I have already set up my DNS as noted above, however it would appear that NetworkManager is rewriting it on either boot or shutdown (I'm guessing boot) and as a consequence my DNS information is no longer present in resolv.conf and so needs to be manually added every time when I restart. I was wondering if there was a way to stop this from happening short of writing a script to automate the re=writing of resolv.conf

italian,

I have the same problem, but for me it does not work.

It seems a main bug in this distro.

Only answer i have found so far is to not use knetworkmanager , might have to use it's options and set to not start at login.
If using eth0 / lan cat5e cable connection.

Make sure the lan or wifi loads at boot time.
" rc-update add net.eth0 default "
or
" rc-update add net.wlan0 default "

For wireless if using ndiswrapper module you also need to load it at boot time.
" rc-update add ndiswrapper default "

You can check what is loading at boot with this nice tool if installed.
" eselect "
" eselect rc list "

Using the gentoo link it should help you understand or figure out if something is missing.

$ killall NetworkManager
$ rc-update del NetworkManager
$ ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.eth0
$ rc-update add net.eth0 default
$ gedit /etc/resolv.conf (e aggiungi la riga)
$ emerge -c knetworkmanager

riavvia... oppure dai: REBOOT or GIVE:

$ dhcpcd eth0
$ /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start

Not much need to translate ....
