YAKQ (yet another klinux question)

[BoberFett]

I was browsing through the spare parts bin and came up with enough pieces to run a K5 133, and I thought I'd give Klinux a try after hearing the rave reviews around here.

Everything seems to work, it found my DHCP server, so I tried to configure and start the Dnetc client. When it started, it said it couldn't find the keyserver. I'm connecting to rc5.casefinder.com, which is my proxy at work. Strange, I thought, so I dropped back to the prompt and tried pinging and get an "unknown host". I am able to ping by IP, so the NIC is working properly. Is there something I didn't configure correctly or something else I need to do? My DHCP server should be supplying the DNS info.

Thanks
Chris

With Klinux (at least on all my nodes) when running DHCP, it assigns the Gateway IP as the DNS. This works fine if you're flushing only internally, but if you want to WAN it, you'll need to run netconfig and manually enter the DNS server.

Gotcha. Thanks.
