setting static DNS

[Nicola Mondello]

Hi, I’m not able to set a static DNS for the Conduit eth0 interface. How can I do it?

The following is my interfaces configuration:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.111
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1

Nicola,

You should be able to specify the DNS nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces like so:

dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2

I’m sorry but it doesn’t work. /etc/network/interfaces is:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.111
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8

this works:

root@mtcdt:~# ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=47.3 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=46.5 ms

this not works:

root@mtcdt:~# ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com

Nicola,

Have you tried putting a nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf?

Perfect! I was missing this!
Now it works.

Thank you
