[wplug] Which Red Hat version is best?

[Chris]

See if you can ping www.google.com and any outside IP address.
If you can ping the IP and not the www.google.com your DNS is not working

If it's not working then edit your /etc/resolv.conf as suggested.

Thanks for all the help.

I am going through the process of setting up2date and I'm getting an error.
I think that my box can't find the DNS server.

The error is occurring when I exit rhn_register screen and here is what I
get:

netdict['ipaddr'] = gethostbyname(gethostname())
socket.error: host not found

My DNS server is also my firewall which is also my gateway and is at address
192.168.1.1

How do I check/set the DNS for my Linux box?

thanks and God bless,

sal
